Do you understand “Want?” You may, but let’s analyze the word from a religious perspective.
Want, is associated with its mother word “Desire,” and Desire is the Achilles Heel of human nature. It’s the main preoccupation of religious teachings as is evident in the Lord’s Prayer;
“The Lord is my Sheppard, I shall not want.”
In context, the line is an affirmation for the sayer that they will commit to the Lord for him to be their (guiding force) to help them override all their seemingly uncontrollable (desires).
What is the driving force of our wants? Is it a Devil that is constantly poking us to “do what we want” regardless of society’s morals?
NO! The true master of our desires is the Life Entity. Life forces us to multiply through internal mechanisms in our brains that target our desires. It is only the human Conscience that regulates and controls human desire so most men are not compelled to take advantage of women.
As stated before, human desire is the hardest thing to control so when traditional morals failed religion stepped in to provide guidance. Eventually governments grew stronger than religion but laws based on religion were installed to maintain control over human behavior.
A man’s greatest desire, unless hormonally corrupted during fetus development or through social perversion, is the opposite sex. Some of us take pride in loving as many women in life as we can, and if allowed, would take two or more wives. This is desire fulfillment at its highest level and may lead to Desire Corruption. Common examples of desire corruption are sexually perversions in the forms of; child sex, same sex, fetish sex, and bestiality. Some will even go as far as to try to make it legally acceptable in society under the guise of “Human Rights.”
So, now that you have a better understanding of “want,” do not fear it. It is an essential aspect of human behavior. Learn to control it using your Conscience because uncontrolled Desire can lead to addictions of all kinds. Life created the mechanism that uses pleasure to reward desire but if Life didn’t recognize its mistakes, it wouldn’t be on an endless quest for universal awareness.
