Dear Friends,
This is the last blog of the month of June. Usually, I am so
busy to blog that I don’t blog again until close to my birthday. As this is the
end of the month and I have been churning out blogs for this month, I want to
end this month with something good. I draw my source of blogs from stories or
events I have witnessed in my years of living. This is going to interesting
because what I am going to talk about is something I want people to think
about. Today’s blog is going to be about desires. I hope this will give you
something to think about.
Now, we all desire something. We want wealth, power,
control, or something more. We as humans desire something. Desire is something
that borders some of the deadly sins in the bible. To desire something means
you have to lust for it. You also have to commit adultery for a desire. You
also could be killed for a desire. To be honest with you, desires also could be
good for people. It gives you motivation, and makes you goal driven.
My main reason for writing about this is because of what I
want to do for the rest of this year and also beyond. I desire to be better in
my life. I want to do better. I have goals and I have plans. My plans are not
something I want to change or alter. I am fixated on achieving things to gain
something. Having desire is a good thing for me but I know most people see a
desire as a weakness or something bad.
I could not talk about desires without speaking about the
one main negative aspect of desires which are sexual desires. We all have
sexual desires. Regardless if you’re gay or straight, you think about having
sex with someone you can’t have sex with or someone out of your league. We
fantasize about celebrities, models, singers, and actors. It is nothing wrong
with that but there is a fine line between desires, lusting, and reality. Keep
that in mind.
I hope I gave you something to think about. I will be back
to blogging after the 4th of July. Time to rest and prepare for work
and what I need to do to live in this world. At least my desires are clean
because if you really know me, not all my desires are clean and wholesome. See
you all soon.
