Chocolate Desire

Desires.

Don't everyone have them, at some point of time or other.

Illustrate with an example.

Somebody desires somebody. This 2nd somebody prefers someone else. And so it goes. The proverbial love triangle has thus escalated into a love rectangle, pentagon, hexagon and what have you -gon.

I guess desire (and the accompanying emotion of envy) springs from the usual grass is greener on the other side kind of thinking. What you have, you don't cherish. You are always craning your neck and looking at the next guy's triple deck, double Godiva chocolate, pistachio flavored sundae, while ignoring your equally luscious, triple chocolate, strawberry studded, silvered almonds, rum and raisin and orange sorbet ice cream medley.

Of course I'll look and envy, you shout, it's GODIVA chocolate that the next guy is having!

But yes, even if Godiva is not available, Leonidas is just as good. Or make mine Neuhaus. Okay lah, Royce. Just as good.

Desire. What a monster to slay.
