We who are like senseless children
Shrink from suffering, but love its causes.
We hurt ourselves; our pain is self-inflicted!
Why should others be the object of our anger?
- Santideva; Bodhicaryavatara 6:445
The Buddha taught us that Desire is the root of all our suffering. Be it physical food, or material food in the form of sunglasses or even my sport bike. We must first become Aware of our impulsive desirous drives before attempting to take a Wisdom Sword to sever them. Have faith Noble Sangha; just bringing Awareness invites Transformation.
