Contemporary Perception of Lifestyle

What a funny thing desire is. Since you want what you think you don't behold. But is this the reality? Or do you really embody it all, without needing it. (I'm even talking about desire of others.) Because you don't need something that's already within you. (What are you addicted to in others?) And if you could find that source within yourself, you would cease to search for it externally. (In men, in objects, in others.) Is this the Buddhist principle, or meditation, or anti-consumerism? Or is it everything. Exactly what we meant the whole time.
