Don't we all know this to be true? Any of us who have ever desired something and then didn't get it (or, worse, got it and subsequently lost it) know full well the suffering of which the Buddah spoke. Desiring another person is perhaps the most risky endeavor of all. As soon as you want somebody - really want him - it is as though you have taken a surgical needle and sutured your happiness to the skin of that person, so that any separation will now cause you lacerating injury. All you know is that you must obtain the object of your desire by any means necessary, and then never be parted. All you can think about is your beloved. Lost in such primal urgency, you no longer completely own yourself. You have become an indentured servant to your own yearnings.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Elizabeth Gilbert" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/elizabeth-gilbert/the-buddha-taught-that-all-human-suffering-is-rooted-in-desire-don-t/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ab6/elizabeth-gilbert-131_desire_the-buddha-taught-that-all-human-sufferi_29240.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ab6/elizabeth-gilbert-131_desire_the-buddha-taught-that-all-human-sufferi_29240.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ab6/elizabeth-gilbert-131_desire_the-buddha-taught-that-all-human-sufferi_29240.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“The Buddha taught that all human suffering is rooted in desire.
