HOW MANY WE CAN RESIST?
In the long of the existence of the
life, under the behavior of the man, always is seen the manifestation of
aspirations, desires or requests by the human being, aspirations or tastes
related to the need of this one of don't have the equivalence of a displeasure
or anything that could disgust us , towards the man is always
searching what can mean to he or she the plenty of his or her lives and
tastes focusing again in the satisfaction as something basic on an individual
level or aspect that we must take into account, under this
enter in our minds the impetuous need of that everything arises or have to
work according to our individual wills. but we it also enter in our minds the
ideal that says that to have what you want in excess isn't good and not everything
what is wished always is an own benefit, we must take care of what we want
,thinking in the consequences that express how it is not good to have
everything, a point of balance must exist I believe between the perfectionism
or human inconformity and also the conformity and stability of this one.so
analyzing this concepts and wills here comes my hypothesis: Which
are the limits of the nuisance and of the displeasure in the
human being, in the moment to possess everything wished.?
We can take
the example of the tale "Christmas everyday" by William Dean
Howells, that is just a reflect of this situation in the life of an
energetic innocent little girl that at once wish the eternity or the
infinity of Christmas, this act was just because of her own individual
wills, she doesn’t take care or think in her family, neighbor ,city or country,
In the history after like a week of the same repetitive sequence of the Christmas
,the humanity was extremely tired and everything caused only for the selfish
desires of a girl who was refused and negated of have her balance between the
good and bad things of hers life, but later the discomfort of the rest of her
environment affect her and she makes questions
and start to think later on the benefits
and consequences of what so intensely he had wished, in this part of the story
the limits of disgust of a wish were understandable ,but also the quotes of the
story later refer to a progressive discomfort by that situation.
“The little girl began
to get frightened, keeping the secret all to herself, she wanted to tell her
mother, but she didn't dare to, and she was ashamed to ask the Fairy to take
back her gift, it seemed ungrateful and ill-bred. So it went on and on, and it
was Christmas on St. Valentine's Day and Washington's Birthday, just the same
as any day, and it didn't skip even the First of April, though everything was
counterfeit that day, and that was some little relief.”- “Christmas everyday” by William Dean Howells.
“Before Thanksgiving
came it had leaked out who had caused all these Christmases. The little girl
had suffered so much that she had talked about it in her sleep, and after that
hardly anybody would play with her, because if it had not been for her
greediness it wouldn't have happened.” - “Christmas everyday” by
William Dean Howells
Thinking now
about the people or society in an aspect more realistic (remembering the
problematic that comes or is made form by
our greed and satisfaction), if we had in a moment everything what we
wish, we would not have limits, the hypothesis asks or establishes how many
time or how much we can support always
of having everything to our feet, so well as already I said before if we take
into account the greed and conformity that are locate in our minds, with the desire or problematic we
mention before, the time that we would
last or spend with the same extensive
benefits wouldn’t have limits and the limits we would define them only as the commonness
of living with what we want, if nowadays in our corrupt society someone wishes
massively all the money of the world two moments will exist of fail before this
person in spite of the fact that his conformity and satisfaction, the first one
of this fail moments would be the commonness of living that express as we can
see the routine boredom of living like in case of the example with all the
money of the world, this one derives another point of nuisance or failure that is
the new search of the satisfaction.
We leave
that boredom of something that so much we were coveting or wishing in a moment
of past and replace it by another object that also motivates possession and
desire, if these two failures are made with success and appear promptly in what
we can called the " life dreamed " we would have a limit of the
nuisance and of the displeasure that in the moment of possess everything wished
we can have as it says the hypothesis, If we compare the desire of the girl of
the eternal Christmas with that of the absolute discretion of the money of the
world, we join them with the desire of an own benefit and the evident egoism,
but clearly the intentions and up to purposes of both desires are different,
the girl makes a wish for something innocent and magic that according to what
the consequences announce gets lost, all magic evaporates of something that was
extremely special in past, Whereas the
man of the common who asks for the absolute money is different, we can figured
out that he does not ask or wish for anything good or special, because the
money is associates with the power, and the power derives pride and I believe
he (pride) is the father of all the faults and there must exist a point of
overload or saturation between how negative or positive we are, is it what reflects the boredom of his
desire, the excess or overflow of something even of the bad customs or purposes
disgusts, which now it wants to say that the limits and his capacity that we
mention can be equal (in the way according to time in which they are demonstrate)
or exhausting in the ages and desires of the persons in spite of the avaricious
thing and conformist that one could have ,both the child and the man.
It is as
well as according to the examples and according to the maturity or failure of
taste for the perfect life, we understand that the quantity of time that we can
last supporting ,it is the same for the
greedy conformists who can continue living through the "bad thing"
that they wished without any problem but it will not be the same amount of time for those who wished a supposed good,
which it is possible now to affirm is
that it is not an eternal resistance or an eternal quantity of time and if there exist limits at the time of the
nuisance or irritation for the wished life, we find now that even what we wish
we can’t support it or to last forever because it has limits and moments in
which we got bored and fail or lose the true essence of life for living one it
is supposed we are dreaming because it comes by a wish.
