The Game of Desires - The Ultimate Killer
Humanity today runs a mile and furlong for gratifying their excessive needs of consumption. World today as we know it, and understand it has become a gateway of unwholesome, unethical, insensitive massive consumption.
We teach our children these same mannerism of life, we teach them to be walking talking consuming entities.
A world full of desires is considered welcoming by most, rather than understanding it as a world full of responsibilities. A view that has got pretty much contorted along the passing roads of time moving from industrialization into modernization and finally into techno-I-zation.
A big moment of success for those who believe in wasting away the natural resources of life. What humans have taken for granted from the mother Earth and its Nature thereof will have to be paid back with a huge Capital plus a forbearing interest.
This is not an uncommon knowledge anymore - growing markets, taxing economy and the Autocratic Tyranny of the Governments all over the world have added to the burden of taking more than what is truly needed. We have fed our greed into the mortal veins of our lives, and this very greed is become the treacherous poison that consumes our entire existence.
Who is to blame? Society? Governments? Education? Conditioning? Parents? Teachers? Who is to blame?
The answer to this question does not lie outside of us, it lies within us. We accepted greed and treachery as a way of life for ourselves. What motivates greed? What motivates a man to become so treacherous in destroying the very roots of sane existence? Accepting the tyranny of dominating behavioral modes at all times?
Man was not meant to be born as a slave of social conditioning and norms!
What motivates us to accept this evil? Simply Desire itself! Our biggest Master has become 'Desire.'
Modernization brought along with itself an amazing blessing that became a vicious curse too. Instant-I-zation.
People wanted everything instantly from coffee too food ..... you name you got it. This very attitude adapted also became a curse, Instant Gratification fueled more desire and more needs and more wants.
The natural pace of our desires reached an untimely proportion, we did not stop to think anymore of what was good and what was not good for us. Simple because desires could be gratified instantly we progressed into speeding up, going off limits to have and to get what we want.
This might sound as thrill for some but it could also be very dangerous. Very little of instant age brought some good utility along with it. Of course there few good things that came out of it but on an ethical level a lot of it got propelled towards the greater fall of human self understanding and consciousness.
Now critics may disagree and would like to point otherwise, but let us again consider one more thing here. The good that happens does not hinder transformation it adds to it. It is the evil that we adopt that needs more work of accuracy and transformation. Hence, it is very important to observe this and to examine the roots of our faulty social norms and attitudes.
Desire today holds the motivation for human behavior and conduct. A desire can be good, a desire can be evil too. It is how we are are using desire rather getting used or abused by it that determines our quality of living. Man has a greater blessing than just desire to accept and adopt in his life. What is that? Self Discrimination!
Where desire has become the Ultimate Killer in our way of living, a Re-Investigation is necessary reminding us to consider first then act. To self discriminate first then decide. Using discrimination as a means for greater good than evil. To adopt a harmonious, wholesome perspective, a caring attitude and a giving attitude from a consumption-ist to a conservationist. This what can bring changes for a greater whole. It does not take much to remember this. Our society that has turned competitive, violent and discriminative in separateness can turn around into a more healthy, encouraging, harmonious and accepting the Oneness of our existence. This in itself can bring about a greater change and transformation.
What we have accepted from the philosophy of separative existence, and that can be undone only by the accepting the realization of One humanness. Not heading from desire into destruction but rather from desire into self realization. It is only then that the awakening of responsible humanity unfolds, if we give away this responsibility for ourselves we are giving up our very potential of an awakened future.
The question still persists if not now then when? When do we wake up? This is a question that humanity has to answer for itself today. Not sometime in future but HERE AND NOW.
We have only burrowed from what belongs to our future generations, and we have already done an irreparable damage to this planet to their future lives. Our insatiable desires have caused tornado's of mass destruction, and its time, we whirl ourselves away from it to save of what's left for the chidlren of tomorrow's dreams. Its only a simple decision, to accept, not by trying to change the world, without changing ourselves first. The change within causes the change without. This is how it all began and this is how it all ends too. May the Grace of a clear compassionate understanding prevail on us today. May humanity realize its folly above its pride of achievement, may be we all move towards a better future in living more harmoniously and with a fuller understanding of love for all humanity and beings as ONE and ONE only.
