Yes, Jerry...Thank you very much for your comments!<br /><br />Yes, Jerry, that is the exact dilemma I see in desire as well. Some desire is definitely good and beneficial and drives us forward. The drive for perfection is good, though I do believe that one should take breaks and breathers on the way.<br /><br />As to your wife, Jedi, I could not agree with you more. I myself have been trying to prove the same for quite some time.Arash Farzanehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12000344680925876563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1367161100956691682.post-12443018258051193802012-07-20T04:06:30.013-07:002012-07-20T04:06:30.013-07:00"It is not so much our desires that is the pr..."It is not so much our desires that is the problem, but what we choose to do with them, namely our actions.

For having a desire for the right things is most definitely good, which even the Buddhists should recognize. After all, do they not desire to reach higher plans of perfection? Ah, but I could have a much more tolerable existence in this world if I could just let go of my own expectations of the way things should go.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349087080262856079noreply@blogger.com
