The Life Drive

Life is tragedy, even your happiness is founded upon it.

The life drive is the strongest drive, a will to power that consumes everything in it’s path.

The life drive and the sex drive run parallel to each other, sometimes converging, other times fighting each other for supremacy. The result, so far, is unbeknownst to us, we can only act in it’s guise.

The sex drive can give you happiness, and sometimes that happiness requires a victim for it to flower. One man’s happiness is another man’s sadness.

It has happened to me, the sad part and the end of a friendship over a girl.

Decades ago and I still feel it.
