Do we ever finish the cake?

As soon as the baker is through with baking the cake and placing the shiny chocolate icing on it , and as it gets placed in the display section of the bakery, the cake takes on a life of itself.
This newborn has only one purpose that defines its being, to call out to every wretched human eye to consume it. What a purpose the poor cake has surmised for itself..

A purpose that is self devouring and yet it truly defines its being, its existence.
Even when it is not in front of our eyes it keeps calling us from beneath its colourful cardboard package. Very often do one's senses rest until we feel we have finished the cake but in essence we havent finished the cake , it has devoured itself. The cake finishes itself...

Isnt this the course of everything attractive, beautiful and talented ?
They call out to the wretched senses and eventually get burnt out.
Well some do it with grace and some burn out uneventfully and even miserably.
To devour itself is the true purpose of beauty.

This is what a day of starvation and quarelling does with one's brain.Ha!
