Screwing Desire

Me - I don't have any desires. Your world view is immediate. Here and now. An absent emotional framework. Belief and value system rooted in apathy. Don't care. Nothing touches one.
I never really knew desire. All one had were wants and urges of the animalistic kind. No corrupting knowledge either. That's how Ive abstained from desire. Screwing desire basically means screwing oneself. We have had our happiness screwed often enough and coped. The finer points of strategy however, all hinge on abstinence. Hey! you're screwing yourself anyway.
Arun - I think the bottom line is to live in the here and now. Now I have to learn how to do that!
Me - Frankly, I don't think you can. Calls for unlearning too much. It's an escapist route for those who don't know where they are going. Thought instinctive, consequences immaterial.
Arun - But that's the best selling mantra!. Let me see
Me - The appropriate sign off should be Dekha Jayega.... Njoy.
Arun - No its not dekha jayega., it's dekhenge.
Me - No re. Dekhenge implies an intent about a point in the future. Cross the bridge when you come to it is fine so long as your ignorant about bridges likely to be on your way.
