Green as the earth

"Desire is the cause of all misery and suffering." A brilliant observation. Siddartha, I think. The desire to live a life that has no misery and suffering causes all misery and suffering. Money cannot buy happiness, true. Most of us are into shit that no amount of money can get us out of. Money is not to blame, though. Its allright to have a lot of it, use it, or even flaunt it. Desire is the problem. We desire for things that money cannot buy. I think that's what gets us all. In the darkness of the night. No desire at all would be the best thing to desire for, but since that seems a little too much to ask of mere mortals like us, we should live with desires only for those things that money can buy. Desire for food, not contentment. Desire for water, not joy. Desire for murder, not revenge. Desire for death, not peace.
