As we form actions from particles of time trying to erase the agony of yearning, we erase as well how it felt to be alive...

Hi G.b.d.
You define in a most profound way what it is to be human!! We are continually experiencing:
"...THE AGONY OF YEARNING...."
I accept that this is my capitalisation and not yours G.b.d. I capitalise these words because of the importance I am putting on them.
Isn't this the story of Adam and Eve? Don't Buddists say that that desire is the source of all suffering? Did not Charles Darwin show this "yearning" in his Theory of Evolution? Surely Sigmund Freud believed that we all are sujected throughout our lives to this "discontent?" And did not Jean Paul Sartre say: "we are condemned to freedom?"
I believe religions and state ideologies were created to deal with this intrapersonal and interpersonal "...agony of yearning."
You sum up in one line the essence of being human and what it means to be alive!!!!!!!!!!
Perfect picture!
Good wishes,
