Desire And Despair Comments

Here comes your point which desire breeds despair? A poem with fathomless philosophical depth.. critically appreciated

Probably, he pointed out about greediness, something we need in excess..7

Then why did Buddha say, desire is the cause of all sorrows?

It's said: necessity is the mother of invention...5

Necessity can be taken as a facet of desire...4

Certain aims, objectives, mission, and achievable goal can't be taken as negative facet of desire...3

Let me tell you dear poet, desire has many dimensions. What is the basic needs of a person cannot be taken as the the negative facet of desire...2

Your poem stresses on lord Buddha's precious words that desire is the cause of all sorrows. Obviously, desire breeds despair... part 1

Wonderful poem...Beautiful lines... To admit desire Is the cause of all despairs...Very true said. Loved reading it. I feel after a particular point of time in ones life following Buddhism can do much. Especially when one to detach from everything and from all worldly affairs. Loved reading it.

both you and buddha rightly said.. like it...

A profound poem with deep meaning. A duality of lifes rich tapestry. A good write.

The true meaning of life is substantiated by the ultimate mindset of every individual. Desire and despair are quite human and therefore lay platform for your philosophy of guidance. Well written Mr Prem Kumar.

Desire and despair are related, as the Hindu prince Buddha told, but he did not tell us how to live our life without desire, as everyone can not give up the desire and the bond of the family. If everyone become the monk, whom do we look, for the alms. Donating the ill gotten money will not eliminate our bad karma...Hinduism talks about life...but Buddhism talks about the despair of every meal! ! !

despair deposited in the minds earns us worries, that is the disintersting interest. Simple poem and clear expression of thoughts, nicely put.

the message is subtle

Very nicely written. It makes one think about desire and despair. I like the way you tie your words to the teachings of Buddha. It's a great lesson and great write 10.
