The Desire That Cannot Be Acknowledged In Public

Do we really have a sense of balance in our approach to this most complex of drives?

We know that many who share 90 percent of our genetics will starve, cross continents, navigate miles of rivers against the crushing currents, and fight – sometimes to the death – to get it. Does this reality have any lessons for us to learn?

We know that similar necessary compulsions can be voiced with complete acceptance (e.g., I am hungry, or, I am cold). However, why is it so unacceptable to utter its reality as if to do so will conjure up the death eaters and the snake-faced one who leads them?

I am just going to say it: I love crunchy Frito-Lay corn puffs!
