How many things have been ruined by someone determined to get what they want? Lust takes over, making men into monsters. Or maybe it reveals them...
Those who get what they desire are still not satisfied. That is because greed does not fill the hole, it just digs it deeper. And then, everyone gets sucked in.
That which we desperately crave will dry up and blow away. What is left will merely be the memory. It is there to remind us of all the time we have wasted.
What shall remain are the bones, with every bit of meat gnawed from them. But the desire will still be there. When there is nothing left, the soul still hungers.
Those who can be bought will sell themselves. And they shall serve as poor sustenance for their wicked masters. But at least their pride is still retained.
This is a world where you win only to lose. Hearts are placed upon the table, only to be swept up like plastic chips. For the odds are always in the house's favor.
Yes. We know there are good and bad people.
ReplyDeleteWhat is not so obvious is that these bad things come from people determined to get what they want. And they are determined to bring everyone down with them. Desire is dangerous and we would all do well to avoid being ensnared.
DeleteIndeed, there are many who wish to devour the world and offer us scraps so that we may fall victim to their agenda. Want for nothing of the world and they shall never have dominion over you. Those who are lost need to be shown The Way so that they are not lured into the hole.
ReplyDeleteIt is inevitable that the world will perish. But we do not need to go down with it. Desire is a string by which people are ensnared.
