desire is that key word with which modern anthropology, the mystery of man understand investigated. The French philosopher Jacques Lacan sums up the people with the single word "desire", pure and boundless desire, by Space and time limit, not all areas of life pervading love, work and entertainment. However, he adds, as it at correcting that man is always at the same time "manque": Lack, deprivation. Thereunder because we suffer too: The fact that the bills remain always open, that we are always looking for more than takes place. It is the suffering of the finite, with the reconciled after Erikson, one of the highest achievements in the last stage of development of man.
live like that? It is an art in all cultures, just this excessive desire to learn of the human heart to live. People have tried over time in very different ways: religious, atheistic, pragmatic.
The religious way: The ancient cultures entered to the path of religion. This reminds people of who he is, in effect, from a divine origin, born of his nature (Acts 17:28), that is marked by inordinate desire, from the origin to live to be like this and that to return home. From the origin, but lives only the beginning, who like the source is pure love itself: what to fear and loneliness free.
The atheist way: Our modern culture has, however, separated from religion and its old memories. It is now the age of Nietzsche, in which God is dead. The man is now that he holds God to be dead himself delivered. The atheist philosopher Henri Lefebvre is, the excessive desire a God-free sense. He refers to moments that take place in our life, shall we call parties. In this he includes the love, good work, recognize the game. In these moments, as it fulfilled the desire. Because they protrude from space and time. When you say to the moment "stay however, you are so beautiful ", or when we want to say to the men on the Mount of Transfiguration of Jesus:" Here let us make three tents happen ...", then such moments. However, Lefebvre said that the failure moments. The time of the "Transfiguration" is over, the man finds himself disillusioned again in the narrow limits of space and time. If there is a sense of unbridled desire so only that there are sprinkled into everyday life are those moments - and the more rare? The writer Ernest Hemmingway does in his novel "For Whom the Bell Tolls" the wise old man has become the soldier who loves her daughter, saying: "Only three times in life shake the earth ... "For the life Lefebvre suggests, is to deal with a reconciled daily and to avoid a ruined life. The angst-filled life can be destroyed to non-parties, but perish. In a reconciled fear everyday low contrast, we can again fall festivals to which we remember and we long for. It is the longing for the moment, the festivals, which keeps us alive. The Austrian poet Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach sealed in that direction when she writes: Not to be regretted are those who do not go their dreams come true, but those who have none.
The pragmatic Travel: The majority of his contemporaries is neither religious nor atheist. They are pragmatic in search of happiness: 85% of his contemporaries are pursuing the goal to try to get the most out of life, the force of desire in them (yet) been destroyed. But as the pragmatic contemporaries are religiously illiterate, they work with the religious life of art is not available. The loss of religion has also meant that you expect nothing more of my earthly life. Their lives are they were "the last opportunity" (Marianne Gronemeyer). But since it forces us to accomplish the feat of the excessive desire to perform at a moderate time to To bring force to heaven on earth. So try to get in love, work and entertainment optimal sorry free happiness. This, however, to live faster and faster and hasty. Such a life is hard, onerous and demanding. The fear appears, "being left behind", which in turn entsolidarisiert us from one another. Loneliness is the price. And from the deep-seated fear for ourselves start to his contemporaries, to see life as other competitors. It follows a culture of depreciation of the others who constantly condemns, judges, and executes rather than encourage, build and support (Henri Nouwen).
