Man and His Desires

A man was struggling to swim out of the ocean, the ocean of desire; , he was close to the coast and there he saw a man waving at him and asking at the top of his voice, ' Hey man, you there, can I help you, help you to reach the coast safely, , but then you will have to promise me you will give up all desires in life, will you? o.k the man in distress said, but then, 'I have a desire' , he replied, to which the man on the coast answered, As I said before,'man you will have to give up all desires, will you? the man on the coast asked again, he received no answer, and the man in distress in the ocean didn't appear there afterward perhaps, he preferred to drown in the abyss of 'Desires' rather than reaching the doors of Heaven for the man on the coast was none other than the 'Lord God' Himself And the human that he is, the man in distress failed to see 'HIM'
