Man, his desire, his end.
MAN, HIS DESIRE, HIS END
Man, a complex being, the compendium of emotions, a whole set of patterns of diverse forms. He is born into a society of love and hate, content and greed, good and evil and all the mixtures he needs to sort out himself as he grows up finding his way through the zig-zag course of messed up life.
In the course of his growth, he encounters and nurture his desires throughout his days and his desires enables him pass through the very many different ranks of self discovery, many which could build him into a true man, equipped with all endowments that are seen or perceived as 'good or godly', or, he could turn out to be a man of deceit, an excuse of a human. Whichever way he chooses, his outcome is projected by the being he becomes after the attainment of a particular desire.
For one to definitely design his outcome, he must pass through tunnels, tunnels fueled by the question of inertia, on becoming. Through the tunnel, his tunnel, he encounters other individuals passing through theirs as well. There seemingly is a connection at some point between tunnels, though, for how long the connection lasts is a question of the desire that fuels his heart, a heart that asks the question of inertia.
Connections made as a result of his race, fueled by his desires, could be any of two scenarios; a diversion or a distraction. Either way, it is a lesson learned, for in those lessons, he is taught, understanding and relating where necessary or abstaining where needed. He grows, having more knowledge and learning along the way, anything that could be of aid or potential damage to him. Either way, it is him, for he alone determines his outcome.
The revelation of his end is finally attained by his journey through his tunnel, what he learns along the way. Also with his new knowledge, he sorts out his issues as relating to his desires if they be good or bad as he sees fit, also his connections as he journeys through his tunnel, his influence over them or their influence over him, all to an extent, for it is his tunnel as they are all in this as well, everyone passing through tunnels and sorting out life issues that ultimately design their ways and crafts their end.
