It starts small, a small desire which is quickly satisfied...and
from there it grows. Bigger and bigger...each time satisfaction coming
at greater effort or expense. Until at one point, we find ourselves with
desires which cannot be satisfied. Simple desires to our minds, desires
our minds have conditioned as 'simple' yet completely unattainable such
as peace and unending happiness.
The identifiable danger here is that; 'life' as our minds have become accustomed to, has conditioned us to desire MORE.
Therefore without ends
We seek love, only to find it unreciprocated.
We seek peace, only to find our ears tuned to war.
We seek longevity, only to find life cut short by death.
We seek wealth, only to find ourselves dissatisfied by life.
We seek power, only to find ourselves in fear of losing control.
We seek recognition, only to find ourselves alone; without friends.
We seek happiness, only to find ourselves prone to pain and suffering.
The mind is an infinite source of desires, and our body an instrument to satisfy those desires
It is a never ending path that can be avoided by one way only
Seek not what is bad, for it will turn you bitter.
Seek not what is good, for it will turn you blind.
Seek not a thing and it will set you free...
