WORLDLY PASSIONS
 

Worldly passions are merely an illusion,
Our feelings, our emotions, and the bondage known as 'love'.

​

In the heat of anger or jealousy,
Thousands of 'I love you' become empty words.
Memories of flaws flow spontaneously into mind,
Whereas incidents of good-will are often forgotten.

​

Annoyance and irritation are but manifestations of our discontentment.
Death may come at any moment,
In a breath, in a blink of the eye.
Why be bothered by such insignificant issues?

Craving, attachment and delusion bind us in misery.

Let us make it a part of our lives, wishing:
May all sentient beings be well & happy,
And also to be free from suffering.

And in the practice of the Dhamma,
May we stay focused, mindful,
And always be at peace.
