Life is more than just a stream of consciousness, or at least it should be. But sometimes it does feel like a looping movie, constantly bombarding us with the same messages and ideas. The biggest lie that modern society or this movie has managed to propagate is the notion that there is always something better, that we deserve a faster car, we need a nicer bag, we need a newer mobile, we can do with a better looking partner, and the list goes on; Deserving desire. Yet to reject these desires seems to be a rejection of modernity and life as we know it. Perhaps its because we didn't get it right the first time round. Maybe Marx was right in exhorting that mankind is doomed to its own ruin through desire. That a new social organization can only emerged once the hubris of desire has been vanquished. But is desire so wrong?
