The driving force that drives us towards desire and then to the desired object.
This is the life-blood of humans. The power to want something and most times get the desired objects, and most times we don't. But the ability to actively desire something and either choose to work towards it or not, alone is a blessing. It keeps us alive and kicking. Once we stop desiring things, we will see life turns meaningless for we no longer have reasons to look forward to the next moment or day or our lives.
God is nothing but a human myth in the eternal search for a greater father who watches and cares.
The fact that you said "a search for a greater father who watches and cares" brought me to tears. And that is because it is true.
We want to be looked after, that is why our parents are our best buddies, no matter how bad they treat us.
Again, that is why our wives, daughters, fathers, and brothers, who work effortlessly to protect us are gods in our eyes. We love to know that someone cares, and is watching over us.
And even from birth, the scream that turned into being breastfed was a cry for power, and once we grew we wanted more(to crawl, to walk, to find freedom from our parents, to marry someone we love, to travel the world, to raise children or parts, to work, to be financially free, etc)
And yes with our community, we desire the power to grow into a community that is worthy of emulation, and as such, we initiate all the engagements, and the crowd's flocks around, giving us a tiny bit of that power.
Yet we want more because desiring more keeps us alive.
Great comments, my dear! I'm glad you read it and thank you for your feedback. Without a doubt that this search for power, the desire to follow is our great energy that keeps us going, always moving forward! And the list of family members that you commented that touched you, even aroused my desire to write more about the subject, why I love psychology and this relationship of child development and its involvement with the world, and I see it daily with my daughter.
I am glad I inspired something
The psychology around children-parents relationship may take our entire life to truly understand
That is because a mother or father will go the extra mile to make their children comfortable even if they are not.
They never want their children to suffer or be exposed to violence or harsh lives.
I guess this is why they work tooth and nails to ensure their children have better lives than they did
I would love to read all of those writing around these subjects....please tag me when you do
Thank you very much
