Synopsis
- Traces of the fulfillment of a wish that never happened. To be is to wish. Desire is a self-conscious experience of lack: when a desire arises, I can no longer relate to the world passively (observantly), but I become aware of myself through something I lack, through absence. To be is to want. Desire is also a form of self-awareness. The death of desire entails the necrosis of the being, the being of the personality. To be is to want. As if wanting something impossible, became impossible. All needs, all desires, all virtualities strive for objective confirmation and every illusion should disappear before the truth. To be is to want. Too much reality in all its forms, the extension of all possibilities becomes unbearable. Nothing is left to the contingencies of fate or the unsatisfaction of desire. To be is to want. The universe becomes factual. The object is transferred to itself. Every possible metaphor has been abolished. That is the second fall of man: the fall into banality. The desiring machine still only produces desires, without wanting them. To be is to want.
