We all have our individual objects of desire. My list is long ~ and changeable ~ over years: Sperry Boat Shoes; my Burberry duffle coat, Terre d'Hermes Cologne, arrowroot cookies, Coen Brothers movies, the Mazda3 hatchback, raisin toast,Tom yun goong, Argentina's luscious Fuzion Shiraz Malbec @ ten bucks a throw, the beach at Ban Krut, Logitech's wireless mouse still going strongly after 9 years, Old Spice deodorant, JBL's Bluetooth speaker and Bose earphones, my fake Joan Miro ..... etc etc etc.
These 'things' are hardly philosophical. They are tangible, thus they can be argumentative. They may be called pretentious, but then so is love (which is both tangible and philosophical).
And then there's that Thai face . . . the best melt one away, and thank god Thailand is full of them.
So have you a photo of a Thai man/boy which has stopped you in your tracks, made you turn around and watch him walk away slowly away gracefully and later that afternoon or night you saw Him again? You had grabbed a camera this time ~ just in case ~ his smile now an object of desire along with a bag of arrowroot cookies.
Do you have a photograph like that?
This happened to me 20 years ago .... and here's that photo. Did something like that happen to you? Yes? Show us the photo.
I'll start his off (one hopes ~ this board is slowly withering away along with Sunnee and Silom).
My favourite of Suphot, taken 8 years ago. My particular desire was fulfilled by it, pulling on that rope.
The poor dear has a bit of a small tummy after all these years, but that Mona Lisa-like smile is the same when he looks at you. And of course, the obligatory tinge of wickedness in that smile.
And no, you can't have him. He's mine, he said philosophically.
