The Engine

Freud became famous with one simple idea, everything about us, what we do, what we think and what we aspire, can be explained by suppressed sexual energy. Well, this may or may not be a good working hypothesis, but even if it is, it only capture half of our population. Freud had "yang" in mind; the "yin" energy needs a little extra explanation. But even for our male community, even if you could express your sexual urges day and night - and one day, perhaps even soon - we will be able to reach this stage with the help of a little "virtual spice", we will still not be happy, still not be fulfilled. As a matter of fact, all we will find out how is how empty our sex drives are unless they are an expression of love.

We have an engine inside. It may be sexual in nature, it may be genetic, it may be based on unfinished business from a previous life. It may be a consequence of a rude experience in our childhood. We may envy someone else or we may run after a childhood fantasy. The point is, it doesn't matter what our engine is. Life has one guarantee for us. Launch the journey in whatever direction your heart desires, let your driving force be biological or psychological in nature, life will lead you to love if every step along the way you choose it. The angel and the devil on your shoulder will be equally excited about the journey. The devil will be your engine, the angel your destination.
