Desire, the root cause of sorrow

These words of Buddha is quoted widely. It never felt relevant to me when I was young. But now having seen life a lot more, I am finally getting it. It feels more meaningful.

Do you feel that desire is the root cause of all sorrows?

a fucking classic:

"clever quote."

"undermining the authority and legitimacy of the opinion of the author of the quote"

"an invitation to the reader to engage in dialogue and project some of the quotation's author's respect onto the personality of the reader"

@Renkon
i didn't say a word about your intentions...

i said about your way of presenting content.

@fakable No problem Margo. May be you are right. But how do I undermine the authority of a great master? Buddha is an enlightened being.

well...

buddha is enlightened only for the enlightened. for everyone else he is just a historical figure teaching the practice of enlightenment.
