Unraveling Desire
The
truth is that we like our preferences and prejudices, we like defining
ourselves in terms of what we like and don’t like. It is precisely
desire’s entanglement with the sense of self that makes this all so
difficult to unravel. Fortunately, there is a relatively easy and
accessible way to counter the powerful forces of desire: the cultivation
of equanimity. Every moment of mindfulness is also a moment of
equanimity.
