Lust

-
(Playing devil's advocate here!)

Lust is the vigour and the vitality in us. There is no picture as invigorating as two bodies entwined in naked embrace in the most engaged contact. The gross is so engrossing, so titillating, so satisfying! It must be lust for which makes the spirit crave a body.

How could one withstand lust when it takes hold of one's heart: one may love it, hate it, but cannot neglect it. This body love is native to our instinct, drawing ready sustenance from our mind and body. It springs from deep within like a coiled spring banishing every other thought from the mental horizon. When it reigns, it reigns supreme.

Strange this wonderful human capacity has been associated with meanings ungodly. Due to our lopsided understanding of it, lust invariably follows atonement. This has created a race of crippled spirits low on self-esteem. We fritter away our emotional energy in doling out morality from a titled balance of conscience. A mental incontinence holds us back all the time. The concerns of the world beyond have disconcerted us. And, we glorify this emotional decrepitude.

Don't lose this living energy to purposeless restrain. It would be an emotional undoing. Lust is the inconspicuous sinew of love. It pins love to the real world, otherwise love is too impersonal for any particular fondness. Lust fosters fidelity. Love is an infidel; it doesn't recognise a face, it doesn't recognise touch. For love, those bedroom cuddles are insipid. The impassioned groans and the seductive smacks hold no charm for it.

Pleasure is not to run away from pleasure. Pleasure is to wallow in it. To let every pore soak in it until it  pulsates in every cell and quickens itself to the bodiless ease. Allow yourself this indulgence. It makes for a healthy psyche. For only after the gush is the acceptance; a cross over. The fact that you are a source of pleasure is a great assurance and capacity.

I agree that it has been associated with meanings ungodly. However, it has not been refused as well. It is just that, it should not be uncontrolled, to keep meaning to life and humanity and keep human being in control, we have been asked to obey some rules. And I agree to these.
Love is such a wonderful feeling. It is prettiest and precious of all. It brings two hearts (not bodies, only) closer to each other, that they become one. It gives a special feeling that, there is one, to whom you give the right to do things that nobody can do. That specialness is unique and to be preserved. I can not give this right to anybody and all. Its like you have only one HOME. Not every house is your home and can not be.
Enjoy the specialness, enjoy the love. But stay away from going out of your control. Because this is one unique desire that does not decrease or fade if enjoyed again and again. However, takes you deep into the flesh. That is the reason why self constraint is required.
Thanks!

Dear friend,
What I pointed out is the idealism we seek in all things we take to. We tell ourselves that lust is a base emotion that has to be done away it, which isn't possible. So, we deify it as love and this consoles us. What we tell ourselves is a lie and perpetuate it. Why does lust need the support of love? It could be in the interest of humanity but not an actuality. I wanted to accord lust its due. The feeling is indeed blissful but the vehicle through which it manifest doesn't approve of it wholeheartedly and we are the vehicle. This reluctance is not without its effects. Half of the humanity is torn in reconciling this so called ungodly passion with divine love.

Sex Starved

-
There is a lady working with a renowned company. She is well-educated, soft-spoken, beautiful and married to a polio patient. She never allowed gloom to descend over her life on account of this alliance. Her gorgeous appearance seems to wage a fight against destiny. Through her mute dalliances and make-up that's excessive for work she stands out among the entire staff at the office. A guy saw a connection between the sprightliness of this woman and her disadvantaged husband. Day by day he drew closer to her, and found his way to her desolate bed. What leads to such marriages, is common knowledge. But, how the equation stands after such marriage, is what I was curious about. My friend had answers, which, however, were mixed up in sleaze. The guy enjoys a bash on that bed where the lady lay for years hungering for that touch. She has two kids: a 12 year-old daughter and a 10-year old son. She loves her children as all mothers do, but the mother isn't loved by her husband. Thoug...

My Atheism

-
In my eagerness to commit to writing my conversion to atheism, I was missing the tiny wick of the lamp on the altar. The eagerness is not without a tinge of melancholy. Compared to the time I spent tending to my faith, my lapse from faith is very recent. I still hear the creak of that door shutting behind me. People ask what happened. I am at a loss to explain. Therefore, this blogpost. The idea of God always attracted me. He was a figure with whom I often conversed. While my trust in people always diminished on re-evaluation, God always grew in my re-assessment of Him. Troubles intensified my prayers, happiness made me grateful: Faith met no challenge whatsoever. I relished believing in an invisible Being. My reason became the handmaid of faith. Reason argued, “Faith cannot be rationalized; it is prior to reason. There is a reason why it is called faith, in the first place.” God had an unquestionable hold on me. Of course, if God is prayed to as a benefactor and arbiter, that belief c...

Fatal One-liners

-
In this age of self-help books and personality development courses, certain one-liners have played havoc in the contented lives of the masses. These one-liners are sustenance unto millions who suffer from lack of self-worth. They are charged, as it were, with divine potency, making the repetitioner of them surmount incompetency. "Believe in yourself", "You have it in you", "You can do it" and many more such tug at the human gullibility for self-belief. You will agree with me when you see girls of all sizes and shapes flocking to air hostess training institutes. Girls, regardless of their vital statistics, seek admission into these institutes on the strength of that woeful one-liner, "Believe in yourself." And, none of these girls wants to work for a domestic airline. They want to be on the aircrew of either Kingfisher or Lufthansa or some renowned international airlines. Hats off to the counsellors who convince these girls into dreaming such s...
