Desire? I don't know why, but when i think of the word "Ambition", i get nothing but the black colour. And i think it is quite clear why that is. As i wrote on my last article, the world is turned to blackness, filled with black ink, now i feel that it is, rotating in the wrong way.
Some months ago, i read an quote of someone, that change, whatever change it may be, even a bad change is good. Now, can someone explain this to me? Bad change is good? Not even for the super lazy people. I'd rather stay lazy and do nothing about me, than make a bad change.
Like a mouse that is running in a labyrinth, like a kid that was lost in a forest, that got felt the core of the orientation, that got the grasp of its surroundings, blindly walking, blindly living throughout years, felt like home, felt like he knew everything, everyone, and himself, didn't find the need for the end, found the need to climb, the misery to climb, to see the sight from the top of the pyramid, found his place, the basic place one needs, found that the addition, extension is the basic need, didn't feel like there is a need for ending, while, there was a trace of bread, while, there was a trace of blood.

Top-level comments on this article: (2 total)Ambition, achievement, success... they have become devoid of meaning to me; they are just functions of the ego mind, the old paradigm and the opposite to the inner void which is surely nothing yet everything.Ah, i hoped no one will comment on this article as this was a total failure xd, but im also glad you took time to express. You combine wonderful words, and the combination of the words is yet more wonderful. I hope i understood your point of ambition being a wicked soul today as the world is, and so it is yet an another urge we feel to addition to basic needs we only need. Thanks.It was written from your heart. There is a view these days that there is no good/bad as there is free will, so there are only choices; that there are not successes or failures, just perceptions of experiences. As my view of what may be a failure(if I had one) would differ from others profoundly, it cannot truly exist.Yes, you are totally right, without that the world would be just black and white.Oh no! Don't tell me I am totally right! All this pain as my ego has been taken down, I do NOT want to re construct it!
Sorry I forgot this bit.Thank you :)
