Not really.
My needs are your needs.
Eating,sleeping,spreading seeds.
It’s that simple for other creatures.
Not humans.
We’ve turned our search for food into something more than the need to fuel our bodies.
We’ve turned sleeping into the search for a more salubrious environment to lie awake in all night.
And we’ve turned the sexual act into some marathon event when in fact it should be no more than….find,fuck,forget.
Always comparing,always wanting more,always feeling disappointed.Trapped in the mindless pursuit of a permanent happiness.
What fools we are.
All our cravings amplified, deliberately so, for the benefit of others.
Food outlets on ever corner.
Shopping centres on ever other.
Unlimited pornography at every click.
No satisfied craving comes free of charge.All we’re doing is borrowing from our future happiness….which is paid back.
By putting on weight,diabetes and chronic illnesses.
.
By becoming slaves to mortgages and debts that will never be paid off.
By the sexual dysfunction created by an industry that wants us to compare ourselves with the exaggerated sex scenes we watch.
Cravings gone wild.
I just want to be an animal.
Find some food,a safe place to sleep and the occasional female to mount…. preferably from behind.
Now that’s a good life.
I see no reason why you can’t have your good life. Check, check and check. And double check for doggie.
Comparison is equivalent to stagnation. Both equal death. I don’t know about you, but my drum fits me just fine. I prefer loud and intriguing. Fuck other people’s drums.
Phenomenal spill
Thanks for the comment Mary.
A doggie a day would keep the doctor away….lol
That is an interesting way to think about the needs that a person have is the same as the animal in the wild. Life is too complicated. Nice piece here, Peter
Thanks Fia….life is very complicated indeed.😘
