The Sequel
So, the previous post was meant to have a more optimistic ending. I am not really sure what the difference is between being a "damaged" person and a "fragmented" one. And in trying to be too cryptic and riddly, I think it came off as misleading and in the process, I mislead myself.
To be direct:
I reread one of my favorite Neil Gaiman graphic short stories today and it really made me introspect myself, especially Desire, one of my favorite deity's, words:
Desire: "Most people want things like a candle-flame, flickering, shifting,. You on the other hand want like a forest fire."
I will very rarely ever admit this about myself. But being such a strong dreamer, I'm pretty sure this is true of me.
Desire: "I should warn you getting what you want, and being happy are two quite different things"
And the character answered Desire pretty much the way I would have.
-:-"I know that. Will you give me what I want?"
Desire: "Of course not."
-:-"What do you want from me?"
Desire: "Everything. What else is there to want?"
If you know the ending of this story...you would realize, like I have, why the one who desires all-consumingly must be the one who is ever-desireabe, ever-untameable, and unwilling to fulfill even the wishmasters.
