This grounds one in kāma (desire) and the perpetual chain of karma and reincarnation. Through egoism and desire one creates the causes for future becoming.

Facing same problem myself -- maybe all of us? -- the craving, the indulgence, satisfaction for a minute, craving again, the empty endless cycle. In addition to the psychological reasons behind all of this, there's also biology -- apparently exposure to the temptation makes our neurons scream for more. Cold turkey for two weeks and the cell memory seems to die down.... I've gone from swallowing a entire bakery at one gulp to passing by with nary a glance. Blasphemy. Of course more difficult to abstain with your blogging duties. Just looking, not eating would take longer but might work, but how would this affect your jounalistic eye?.... Green drinks (the powdered kind you mix with water, very mild taste) seem to help a lot too in cutting down cravings. Then, theoretically, one could eat a pastry by choice, rather than driven by maniacal need. Hasn't happened yet, for me.... Anyone have any ideas about decreasing craving?Shelleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-29626201703697542722013-01-06T14:13:58.324-05:002013-01-06T14:13:58.324-05:00Ooh, la la!
