Humanity

There is a thin line between hunger and desire. One of them, hunger, is less raw. It is less heartfelt and is fueled by something different than enthusiasm. It is fueled by greed, materialism and in some cases, power. On the other hand, desire, is fueled by passion and longing. However, sometimes we are mislead by human capabilities such as competition and hatred, therefore, leading us to take our desire and exchange it for hunger. It is in our nature and some of us, on occasion, forget to draw this line between both.
Subconsciously, all of mankind knows that something is malfunctioning in our world. Until we are proven otherwise through love or any type of emotion that brings out our honorable human traits, most of are lost in a threatening world of hunger. At the back of our heads, we realize that we are bitter and deep inside; we all want to experience love. We all want to trump evil and feel glorious through achievements without having to struggling and competing.
Many of us are blind. We stare up into the sky and we usually only see one star in that pitch-black sky. We are blind because we have been disappointed and unable to be proven that if that one star that we depended on were to be removed, we wouldn’t be lost. In mythology, it is predicted if Zeus’ lightning bolt were to be stolen, Poseidon would shake the seas, Tartarus’ grounds would explode with fury and Aphrodite would be left with no love or beauty. Without that bolt, or our own star, many of us would be lost. Desire, would be misplaced and only hunger would be left. That is why we depend on those who are able to stare up into the sky and realize that there is not only one star, but there are many, gleaming over us. They are the true leaders and the ones who prove us that mankind has someone to trust to lead them the way.
There are very many people left who are uncorrupted by hunger and untouched by greed. Yet, we let it be because without this feeling of corruption, we wouldn’t be looking for something better such as love. We are a race to be honored and disgraced. We are blind to beauty and some of us are infatuated with it. We feel everything and we are reluctant to giving into our emotions. We are malevolent, ravenous, adoring, affectionate…We are humanity.
