Desiderium Tee

"Longing for the days when the mind danced freely, unburdened by the weight of self-examination, one yearns for the blissful ignorance that shielded from the harsh light of existential questioning. The intoxicating nostalgia for a time when the self was but a vague silhouette, undefined and untouched by the relentless scrutiny of awareness. Yet, as the echoes of this desire reverberate through the corridors of contemplation, one must confront the paradox inherent in such a wish. For it is the very awareness that longs for the simplicity of ignorance, a contradiction that highlights the inexorable nature of the human condition. One discovers both the beauty and the burden of consciousness. The desire to revert to a state of blissful oblivion is tempered by the recognition that it is through this awareness that one grasps the essence of existence, no matter how tumultuous or perplexing it may be."
