Desires can lead to violence
Editor, The Journal:
Every man, woman and child
is seeking after an ultimate goal
or purpose in life and cannot
feel satisfaction until one's great
desire is fulfilled. This overpow-
ering desire is what stimulates
each of us to want to do what is
necessary to reach our ultimate
goal.
If the grand purpose of life
for an individual is power, pres-
tige, wealth or sexual gratifica-
tion, the greatest expenditure of
energy, causing actions toward
fulfillment of that desire, will
be put forth and nothing will be
allowed to stand in the way of
achieving that desire.
By the same token if the in-
dividual perceives charity, faith-
fulness, gentleness, generosity,
joyfulness, modesty, patience,
peacefulness, self-control, good-
ness, kindness and chastity as
the hallmarks of a good life, those
attributes will be the central fo-
cus of that individual's life.
It is not humanly possible to
find complete fulfillment of any
of our desires in this life. We can
burn ourselves out by attempt-
ing to be immersed completely
within any given state of desire.
Mankind never has been, and
never will be, able to find com-
plete satisfaction in anything
that life on Earth offers.
Yet the urge, the strong desire
toward such fulfillment, never
leaves us but continues to pres-
sure us toward the perceived ob-
jective.
For example, the desire for
power leaves us always desir-
ing more power; same with pres-
tige, wealth, love, joyfulness and
so on. How many devote their
whole life toward acquiring the
ultimate amount of any given
desire and feel empty as a result
of failure to accomplish same?
Examining the effect capital-
istic economics has on our soci-
ety I will quote some thoughts
from Joseph Pearce. "People
matter because they are not just
matter," writes Pearce. "They
are spirit; they possess a soul.
The unleashing of desire in the
form of consumerism is today
stretching nature's tolerance
to the very limits, threatening
global ecological turmoil. The
accelerating depletion of the
earth's finite resources to meet
ever-expanding demands for en-
ergy and consumer goods has no
foreseeable end.
"The worship of economic
growth as an end in itself is
based on the highly question-
able assumption that there are
no limits to the planet's ability
to sustain it. Yet none of these
pressing issues are addressed
by conventional economics. It
doesn't have the answers be-
cause it doesn't ask the ques-
tions."
He closes his book with a few
sentences from E.F. Schum-
achers's 1973 classic, Small Is
Beautiful: Economics As If Peo-
ple Mattered:
"The violence that is in the
process of destroying the world
is the cold, calculating, detached,
heartless and relentless violence
that springs from overextended
minds working out of control of
underdeveloped hearts. A person
who does not feel his thoughts
but merely entertains them ...
is capable of limitless violence
... He is supremely rational; for
him, the only certainty is his
own death, and ... his own death
is the equivalent of the disap-
pearance of the world."
