Desire, Blind Choice

Desire, Blind Choice

A Poem by alexsnow

If we are ruled by desire then are we not surely ruled by a pursuit of what we want?
And if it is what we want then how can it be bad? To be a slave to desire is only bad when an aversion to slavery is introduced.
It is a misuse of terms.

In this way, if we exercise choice just so that we can call ourselves human, but that choice is against our desire, are we not merely punishing ourselves?
What is our abstract idea of humanity worth?

Desire sometimes blinds a person from seeing the true self. It can create our own image of perfection causing our choices to waver in integrity. Desire should be based upon a stronger foundation.
