“Lust is a wayward highway both to and of sensual
intoxication, with heavily-priced tolls. Much like on an actual highway, the faster
you drive on this highway, the greater the euphoric-intoxication; and yet, all
the while, you are depreciating your asset, accruing exorbitant fuel costs, and
risking all that is around.
Anyone who keenly accounts for and analyzes his senses knows, firsthand, that once he experiences the object of his “lust” – and experiences it repeatedly – Lust dissipates with time. Putting it as an abstract rule, the ‘desire’ for any or every sensual desire (including “lust”) has an inverse relationship (of diminishing satiety) with the actualization of that particular desire. Both Morphology and Physiology confirm that the final upshot of any use of an “intoxicant” is weak nerves – both at the physiological and psychological levels. As for the origin of such feeblemindedness, Tolstoy’s words capture its essence: ‘Boredom: the desire for desires!’ ” (I.N.)
