Desires


Desires. What comes to my mind when i heard the word desire is that desire is a strong emotion that urges a want or a hope of a person. A desire to gain, own, experience, feel, see, touch something or etc. It is a strong emotion within someone that makes them utterly passionate to have it. Desire. Desire practically controls a lot of things and probably everything to someone. Its desire that drives a student to graduate with excellence. Its desire that brought a couple together. Its desire that grows a small company into a multi-million dollars company. And its desire that causes a murder to happen. A desire is wild, content, excited, playful, genius, futuristic, passionate, cunning, terrifying, a force, etc. A desire should be reached, but not all desire contributes positively to a person. Hence, if a desire give a positive impression or impact on a person's life, it should be fulfilled.
    As a muslim, i believe that desires should be fulfilled as long as they do not hinder me from adhering to the principles of Islam. Desire is a strong feeling. It can be good or it can be dangerously bad. Desire should be controlled with proper knowledge, a stable and logical thinking for it to happen as wanted or to be resisted from happening.
    Desire is very subjective topic. Desire can be defined in a whole range of ways with different ideologies because everyones emotion and thoughts on this matter are different.
    These are my thoughts on desire. I had typed all that came into my mind with regards to desire. I can't lie because i, myself, do have desires that i would like to fulfill in the near future as well as in the long run.
    Do tell me what defines desire in your opinion. I believe that reading or listening to others' understandings open up the breadth of our thinking and knowledge. I guess you can say that that is one of my desire!

Love, T.
