Desire What Is Here Now

We long for what we don’t have because we believe that having it will finally bring us peace and happiness. We don’t realize that the lack of peace and happiness we are feeling is actually a result of desiring what we don’t have. The desire is the cause of our unhappiness, not the fact that the desire is unfulfilled. When we examine desire more closely, the truth about it becomes obvious. Desire is painful. We suffer because we believe we are lacking something necessary for our happiness. That’s a very sad (and untrue!) story, but this story is essentially everyone’s story. Everyone feels this way because the mind is programmed to be unhappy with whatever is happening. The ego refuses to be happy because if it didn’t come up with reasons to be unhappy, it would be out of a job, since the ego is in the business of problem-creation and problem-solving.
