All of those human aspirations for eminence or dominance, immortality, celebrity or acknowledgement for 'lies against time and its "it was"', which seem self-explanatory are only means to an unknown end - since you can always ask, 'and then what?'. The desire to become God, perhaps, if that could only be made sense of. They are the desire for being but in a veiled way since being is outside the scope of all desire. To reveal it would be to be threatened with utter emptiness, or not even threatened, emptiness being already fully the condition of desire, unattainable because it is where you start from.
