Desire

Desire.
Desire is the root of all evil.
It's not money. Or women. Or amoralism. Or Godlessness. Of Godliness.
It's desire.
That wanting.

It's like Buddha said - To end suffering you must end desire.
And in the bible - there are three things that are never full, four that never say enough
the grave, the barren womb,
land, which is never satisfied with water,
and fire, which never says, 'Enough!'

Never enough. Death. Misery. Drought. Desire.

I desire much. I desire like any man. Evil and good.
Desire the root of my suffering.
Desire - cruel, wanton creature.
Chop it off! Chop it off at the balls!

They say it's like fire...
But they're wro-ong.
It's like fire because of the heat blood brings to the surface.
The heat of flushed cheeks and the sound of thumping in your ears.
It's not like fire.
It's like blood.
That consuming feeling that tightens the muscles, dulls one sense and sharpens another,
That's the adrenaline.
Desire is like blood.

Not the dead blood pooling.
Living blood. Beating through the heart and arteries.
Maybe it is like fire.
Blood bringing oxgen, fuel and heat.

Cruel. Wanton thing.
