This piece, Let Us Toast To Our Animal Desires, is about, well, animal desires or a lack of humanity (in this instance, they are interchangeable). We like to believe we are a civilized people.We like to think we are fair, just, intelligent and righteous. If you ask any person you meet, I'd bet most often than not, they will tell you that they are a good person..and it may be true...but not totally. And I think that can be applied to all of us. And it's nothing to be ashamed of.
As person, we are not infallible. We do make mistakes. We make bad choices. We do, like, watch, and endorse bad things...it's just part of being human. We run into trouble, though, when we lose touch with that side of us. If we ignore those aspects of our lives, we fail to control them. When we fail to control them, we see them escalate. And when we see them escalate, we start seeing a real lack of humanity...animal instincts powerful enough to challenge our status as an intelligent being.
The point of this piece is to get these out in the open, to gaze upon them as if they are jewels or artifacts, and to accept them as a part of our history, a part of our lives. Let Us Toast To Our Animal Desires is a way of acknowledging your shortfalls, accepting them, and moving on with a progressive mind, realizing that your perpetually bound to these animal instincts, yet aware of your power and responsibility over them.
