To Be Desired

To be desired is perhaps the closest anybody in this life can reach to feeling immortal.

Wikipedia: John Berger
John Peter Berger (1926–2017) was an English art critic, novelist, painter and poet. His novel G. won the 1972 Booker Prize, and his essay on art criticism Ways of Seeing, written as an accompaniment to the BBC series of the same name, is often used as a university text. He lived in France for over fifty years.


I've noted the following about desire:

We want our co-workers to admire us and our boss to respect us. We want our friends to like us and our family to love us. But there is something special, truly special about being desired.

Passion puts a smile on our face and a spring in our step. The day is a little sunnier, and the sky is a little bluer. It reminds us that we are alive.
