The lack of any desire

3 Comments

Hello people, this is my live since i have turned 16 and started having a mind of my own,

i don't have any desire at all, not towards food or sex or anything most humans long for,
i do understand that some food taste very good and so people desire it,
and i understand the appeal of sex,

i just don't desire them, nor do i desire money, power, fame, or high social status,

i'm happy with the way i am,
i have a good work, a loving family, and a nice friends,
in short i live a normal life,

but i have things that doesn't make me normal, for example:
1- i discovered that i can't be startled no matter what.
2- i can easily stand pain, i naturally hate it, but i can stand it, even at a great level.
3- i've never cried at a sad moment, both in real life or in the media ( early example is in "tarzan" the scene when his mother died, i was 9 and every one around me was crying, and i didn't, i understood the reason but it didn't affect me ).

your thoughts?

      I think the buddhists call it enlightenment, but it sounds totally boring to me ...... each to their own, some people would consider it freedom

    Sounds like you are meant to be in the clergy. They are not supposed to 'desire' anything even sex, or have an ego, or have any worldly possessions.
    Too bad there are so many who are hypocrites, living lavishly, screwing children, retiring to multi-million dollar mansions, etc, though the pope is supposed to live quite austerely, and he does seem a good man.
