"Always desire to learn something useful."- Sophocles

The lecture on desire was one that I found extremely important and inspiring.  Many of the the pieces that we read in class contained the theme of desire, and this lecture increased my schema. During this lesson, we distinguished between inherent and created desires.  My eyes were opened to just how similar people are in our society. This discussion taught me that everybody has  desires to be accepted, useful, loved, wanted, and successful. Understanding this concept made me look at our society in a whole new light. Maybe, we are not as unique as we would like to believe or maybe these similarities are what bring us together.
