Discussion»Statements»Rosie's Corner» HATE/GREED. Or GREED/HATE. That is what doofus donny has brought to us. All the folks who made that possible? You done good. What's next?
Don't get upset Rosie but it's a nice feeling knowing that after eight years we will be rid of the worse administration in our Country's history and the Clintons, be patient and think positive, remember Lincoln also wasn't popular at first.
I was expecting something more substantial. How disapointing. (you have the vote, right?)

The two most fundamental feelings for all living beings are desire and aversion. Without them, life could not live.
Greed is the excess of desire beyond fulfillment of one's needs. Hate is the excess of anger when needs caused by fear or pain are left unfulfilled.
Humans develop distortions - starting out with just a little and growing by tiny increments. Until finally the consequences of excess begin to become obvious. But by then the habits of character have been formed amid blindness (lack of awareness and insight/ ignorance/ ignoring reality/ denial) and so it becomes very difficult for the sufferer to find their way towards happiness and peace.
In Buddhism, it is acknowledged that everyone has obstacles to happiness. These are greed, anger, and ignorance. All suffering is caused by these three.
