All suffering is born of desire
Pleasure depends on things, happiness does not.
All attachment implies fear, for all things are transient. And fear makes one a slave.
All suffering is born of desire. The entire universe of pain is born of desire.
Souls take whatever pleasure they desire and pay for them in tears.
Give up the desire for pleasure and you will not even know what is pain.
Freedom from all desire is eternity.
