Desires Are the Bedrock and the Deathbed of Life

It is true that the enlightened one, Buddha had said eons ago that attachment is the root cause of every suffering. Now the attachment could be to anything, any person, any event, any ‘desire’.

It is quite prevalent in Eastern philosophical circles that if you don’t desire anything then you won’t suffer. I’d say well then you would not even exist.

Without the desire for sex, why would a couple procreate?

How would the genes get transmitted?

So, it is only because of desires that we are living.

All of us need to read The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins before venturing into Spirituality.
