Statherian The Ocean Collective

[Instrumental with a quote from the movie The Life of David Gale playing]
What it means to be fully human is to strive to live by ideas and ideals
And not to measure your life by what you've attained in terms of your desires but
Those small moments of integrity, compassion, rationality
Because in the end, the only way that we can measure the significance of our own lives
Is by valuing the lives of others

Fantasies have to be unrealistic
Because the moment, the second that you get what you seek, you don't, you can't want it anymore
In order to exist, desire must have its objects perpetually absent
It's not the 'it' that you want, its the fantasy of 'it'
We are only truly happy when daydreaming about future happiness
This is why we say "the hunt is sweeter than the kill"
Or "be careful what you wish for"
Not because you'll get it
Because you're doomed not to want it once you do
Living by your wants will never make you happy
