"I think there's this misconception in Western culture that wanting things is a solution. It’s actually a form of suffering. I wouldn't be surprised if most people thought that wanting things, and then having those cravings satisfied, is happiness. So they're constantly chasing after these sensual things, and maybe for some amount of time after a craving is gratified, a person feels relief from this deeper suffering. But then it comes back again. It's actually stronger because the cycle of wanting and gratification is a habit, and now the habit has gotten a little more ingrained."
Wow. This is the premise from which we are let to a solution for all the world's problems!

Thank you Welles! I am now looking forward to the miracle which is our breakfast. So much good around us and in us if we just remove the dross and see. This article helped me to do that.
Big hugs!
