Possessions Diminished by Possession

So why men stray?

Biological need for more sex, sexual variety and opportunistic sex. To boost ego to feel special. For the thrill of the chase. To escape the inevitable existential futility, angst and terror.

Read something from somewhere quoting a transgender man saying: “There’s a significant uptick in casual sex, a lowering of inhibitions, and far more interest in sexual variety…personally, I have noticed I have a new-found ability to completely divorce sexuality from emotional commitment.”

The genesis of love. Nietzsche delivers the cruelest analysis of the human emotion known as “love”. The German said love is born of egoism and actually “may be the most ingenuous expression of egoism”. Two main ingredients of love are desire and lust, which are always seeking after the new, as we tire of existing possessions and crave new attractions. “Possessions are generally diminished by possession.” Brilliantly brutal.
