Wanting A.K.A. Desire

We all know we want for lack of a better word. But wait! here is the better word Desire cue Ecoplex. But how do we come to the conclusion of what we want a.k.a. desire? Is it to experience something different just because we want too? Is it that shallow? Or is there more to this desire than meets the eyes. Aha! the eyes windows to our souls. Portals for our observations while in this life if we choose to see. Is it wrong to want it all? Is that being a selfish hog? Or it is all there for you to have just don't abuse it. Because if you abuse it you loose it most of the time. So what is wanting and what is desiring? Wanting and having go hand in hand. Desiring and passion go hand in hand. Stay with me here. When you want something or some one a sense of possession goes with that sense of wanting. Not unlike I want that car, I want that ring, I want that girl, I want that guy. It is more the mechanics of being.
Desire is not a want it is a longing a passion. Desire equals passion which equals a longing for. To be with to be part of. Think about it. When we desire we crave. When we want we possess. When we possess something or some one we guard it control it, and compete for it like a prize in a contest. When we desire we long to be with in our life, part of us. Us and the object of our desire become one. It is a mater of allowing things to come into your life as opposed to forcing things to come into your life.

The american physic is known for instance gratification, I want it now thinking. Patience takes too long we get nerved out and restless. Why? Think about this we grew up with adds for toys and products. There was always a new one to get to keep up with the style. Most of them you lost interest in them with in minutes and on to the next one. Few of them held your interest for any length of time. The age of the internet and the computer. With the speed of the computer and the internet seeing something we want took on the trappings of a star ship with warp drive. This wait time has been speeding up exponentially since the sixties. Even the wait time to get what ever you ordered on the internet has excellerated. From a week in the late sixties to three days in the eighties, to order by noon get it the next day present tense.
So what am I leading up too? Conditioning. We have been and are being conditioned every day. We are coming to expect things to almost materialize instantly. This spills over into our relationships more than we realize. And at times causes more anxiety than there should be. It does excellerate the schema of want.
