41. Wild Horses

Hello and welcome to Musing Interruptus. Thank you for clicking and thank you for listening. There is a difference between showing your affection because, it exudes out of your pores, creating a halo of adoration, unequivocally so, and showing affection as a way to receive affection. There is an ego push, relentless, disconnected, intermittent, and unsustainable. The ulterior motive defines how seduction is perceived, and if I am not mistaken, it sets the tone for the relationship. Today on Musing Interruptus, Wild Horses. The life drive, as in Freud. In Spanish, pulsión de vida, an energy that comes from the origin and feeds the origin. Any and all sensations that motivate satisfying a need. It is tension, libido, infatuation, and connection-based pining. It is a search for release, a short-lived, addictive satisfaction. Is it an addiction if you need it to live, by definition? On the opposing end of Eros is Thanos, a death drive balancing the voracity of desire and creation. Mary Wollstonecraft articulated an argument for women’s edification based on the need to differentiate a worthy suitor from a scoundrel interested only in sexual intercourse. An educated woman may uncover the wolf in sheep’s clothes. What Mary didn’t mention is that education may also allow said woman to disrobe the wolf, in an act of seduction. Furthermore, an educated woman’s life is informed by a plethora of interests and curiosities, diverse needs to create and achieve. The life drive serves purposes beyond the preservation of the species on a biological plane, it fosters diverse human manifestations of intellect. Pushing creation and intellectuality, hurling human development through space and time. Yes, women need to be educated as a means to save humanity. Say you find yourself on this journey and your path should be met with a counterpart, to the fullest extent, or three-quarters or half. You will be able to identify them with every atom and sub-particle. This is the path, down which, seduction cannot be planned or manipulated into existence. It is an unsupervised chemical reaction urging the hosts to act through attraction, cemented by admiration. Unmistakable for anything else, by those living it and those witnessing, the stuff love stories are made of. In real life, it takes a lot more than a meet-cute to kick things off. There is a lot of internal work that goes on. The ulterior motive is either classified, in terms of music or songs, as Wild Horses, by the Rolling Stones or Jimmy Buffet’s Why Don’t We Get Drunk and Screw. Mind you, I’m not passing judgment on either scenario, I am simply stating that both parties should be able to identify which it is if only to create the right playlist for the occasion. Thank you for listening. Have you confused these scenarios?  What tipped you off? How did you resolve it? Do you agree when I say every level of an individual deserves to be developed and that this is conducive to true self-love and the ability to love others and even be loved? I guess what I’m saying and asking, in the words of Bob Marley, Could you be loved? I’m listening.
