We are mindful of desire when we experience it with an embodied awareness, recognizing the sensations and thoughts of wanting as arising and passing phenomena. While this isn't easy, as we cultivate the clear seeing and compassion of Radical Acceptance, we discover we can open fully to this natural force, and remain free in its midst.

In moderating, not satisfying desires, lies peace.

Words cannot describe the indignation a proud woman feels for her sex in disfranchisement.

It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters.

What really raises one's indignation against suffering is not suffering intrinsically, but the senselessness of suffering.

This is part of human nature, the desire to change consciousness.
