"fantasies must be unrealistic.
the minute you get something, you dont, you cant, want it anymore.
to exist, desire needs absent objects..
so desire supports itself with crazy fantasies..
this is what pascal means when he says that
the only time we are truly happy is when day dreaming about future happiness..
or why we say, the hunt is sweeter than the kill
or
be careful what you wish for
not because you'll get it
but because youre doomed not to want it if you do.."
-excerpt from the life of david gale
interesting concept.. yea? you want something, this object, this person, or this ideal.. whatever it may be that you want, but. once you have it, it ceases to be a want, a desire, a goal.. and becomes a possession, lover, etc etc.. and its at this point that one or two things happen. your desire must either be replaced, or evolve.
it can be replaced easily by something similar but a level above, or it can evolve.. like if it were say a significant other or a new job or something, it can then evolve into maintaining or sustaining the relationship/position..
maybe this explains things like people into extreme kink, extreme sports, greed.. these ppl had the drive to go out and fulfill their FIRST fantasies only to find themselves in need of a new one.
this could also explain why people cheat on each other. not that im saying i condone that, or that it is acceptable, cuz i dont and it isnt :).. but there is always the matter of free will and choice.. i don't think that most people go out and intentionally seek to break someones heart or hurt them by cheating on them.. it's just that their fantasy/desire after getting with that person was then replaced with someone ELSE rather than evolving, having their new desire be maintaining/sustaining the relationship.
just, somethin to think about i guess? i'm bored. not much of a blogger. someone say something.
