What is the essence of desire? Is it a craving, obsession, or addiction or is it as simple as wanting something because it is not directly part of our lives? Buddhist's say that desire is the root of all suffering. This statement is accurate with respect to the things that we might call fulfilling. When the want becomes less personal & and more global, some flexibility seems to pervade outcome. But there can be no mistake personal desire does not bring lasting fulfillment when satisfaction is achieved.
Keep this in mind as your life unfolds. The brochure of desire will always be captivating but short on delivery.

Honestly, the search for your personal truth is often derailed by the acceptance of statements that are portrayed as fact. In childhood, we could only absorb what was taught. If the teaching was labeled as absolute then the truth must be so. As each one ages, the black and white of our perceptions may begin to gray if we allow ourselves to investigate the basis for our beliefs. How possible is a man on the moon before the Wright brothers took flight?
Feel free to believe.
