" I have seen the stars, I have seen the constellations. I have seen that you are desperate to take on a fleeting form. Strung up as a defiant effigy against the bedrock of your nature...we have bound ourselves in want and suffering of these images. These pillars, these props of limited wants and whims, of titles and glory..they have wounded us."
You have worked so hard to make graven your image in stone...yet you are water, you are fluid. You are the oceans. Could we accept this and inherit our deeper meaning, or shall we continue to revel in our desperate fears, these corroding pains?

Buddhism does have a profound way of looking at things, as does Taoism when it comes to the nature of will and want. Personally, I feel that desire is inherent and benign, but it is what ambition we imbue it with which may lead to suffering. Some would give themselves to that chaos, and others would remove themselves of it altogether.
Wrap yourself around any one passion or whim and it may lead to mania or a warped perspective. Relinquish it altogether and you may remove an understanding of it.
I feel desire is a spice of life, and must be understood as a distraction or act of the play. Both can be healthy as a fleeting joy, but sought as life itself may very well lead to that eternal suffering.
Anyway, apologies, went off on a bit of mental musing there.
