Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose...

Why is that so hard to do? Why is it hard to let go of some things? How do we distinguish between mere things we want, and things that we're meant to have? Moreover, is it wrong to want to have something (someone)? We all have desires, but at what point do they become bad? when do they overcome our lives? And if we aren't to aim for our wants, then why do anything? What other motivation can there be to do anything other than our desire to achieve something?

Buddhism says that suffering is caused by desire. Does that mean that desire neccessarily causes suffering? Or simply that if suffering exists, it's because of desire? Is that the break-point? Wanting becomes bad when it causes suffering?

Maybe that is the answer... maybe there's nothing wrong with wanting something, so long as not having it doesn't make you unhappy, or striving to attain it doesn't stress you out.

lol... it's funny how sometimes just typing thoughts out can lead to break-throughs. Who needs a shrink? I have blogger.
