From birth children and given warmth and sweetness from flesh and breast by evolution. A child gets addicted to it's comforts and become what they like and want. As the child engages with the world beyond it develops likes and dislikes. As independence grows the child wants more of what it likes but is constrained by it's parents or guardians. So once the child matures and can leave 'home' it will not only search to acquire it's likes but indulge in those that were previously prohibited. Sex and drugs are the two most common indulgences a child may invest in. And of course if they enjoy they experience they will seek more and acquire more addictions. So then arise the idea of want. I have a memory of what I like but my wants are about the future. Constantly avoid the present as I mature I try to establish a future where I will be happy or content and it becomes clear that I may befit from less indulgences in certain activities, after all, it is not just about satisfying the mind for the next hour or two but the mind and the body for decades to come. Then of course the wholistic question of what I want takes precedent and what I like can take a back seat. There is here an opportunity to build an alternative consciousness that will survive the body. The mind has satisfied itself by indulging and fed the body with the required comforts but clearly this is not enough in the sense that all these indulgences were at the expense of another, many others, all others and therein myself. I really really wanna build beauty within that does not require the sustainability of the likes I have become accustomed to.
