Idealized Desires
Seeing my friend's musings on the woes of men.
I remember when a neighbor's child held a rare cotton candy, eating it beside me, while I had only my eyes.
At that moment, I thought, 'In the future, I want to eat the most delicious candies in the world.'
Later, I realized this was a desire for conquest, like conquering a single candy, conquering fate.
This desire burns within me constantly, and it grows stronger with age.
When will this terrifying burn stop?
In fact, everyone has many desires, which we simply haven't acknowledged.
I don't think there's anything wrong with it; we just beautify our desires and turn them into ideals. A life without ideals is bleak, and a life without desires is also bleak.
Now my desire is to make certain things remain unchanged, no matter how time transforms…
