XII

Want

Eric Clapton's song Layla encapsulates the inward cry of every heart. Driven mad by his longing for Pattie Boyd, Clapton, through his music, exhibits the excruciating ache of his heart, for he seems unable to attain his sole desire. Likewise, every human being has a thirst that cannot be quenched. Willing to sell our souls for what seems to matter most, we still cannot reach what we work so hard to attain, and if we attain it, it never truly satisfies. We live trying to fill a void, which we can never completely fill.
