2. We Are Driven By Desire

To recognize any entity as a human is to recognize the dominant characteristic of that entity: desire. Desire not only to survive (mainly from the Mind) but also to choose one's experiences (from the Spirit).

Desire, which eventually results in your creations, forces a continual evaluation of what you've done. "Omigawd, did I do that?" or "What did I do to deserve this?" or "I'll have to work some more to get what I want", etc., etc.

The logic part interests me because logic itself is based on what can be measured, analyzed and communicated. It is based on what works and what doesn't. It is, in short, the measurement and calculation of probabilities. Probabilities because, as I'm not the first to notice, there is no certainty anywhere in the past, the present and especially the un-experienced future.

All logic is individual logic for one's thoughts are free. What one agrees with is an individual matter. Logic forms the basement and framework for our personal houses.

Desire, emotion and logic work together (each in turn) and provide a basis and corroboration for each other. You get the desire to do something; you do it and then seeing that it is done, have an emotional reaction followed (hopefully) by a logical analysis. This continual interplay of desire, feelings and analysis produce what we call human activity.

The unending characteristic of desire implements TSB's purpose, I hope you will see later in these writings.
