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?

I read this awesome author, Byron Katie. Shes a genius, sage...she says our fear and sadness is due to what we are BELIEVING or thinking. She says, when you believe this or that, about them, about the world, or yourself, it is where suffering lives, because, "nothing is true." We attach labels, words, meaningsssss, to all out there. And its not truth. Nothing can be judged, labeled etc. Her works are SO good. She is fascinating. 🌷
