Desires

    Desires are like this. The senses send a message to the brain. The intellect then discriminates wether it's good for us or not. 

   But sometimes we disregard the intellect because of weak mental fortitude. We give in to our desires. A pattern is established, a habit is formed, karma on repeat. 

We smell those donuts, we know they're fattening, but one more's not going to make a difference. Is it?

    We hear some gossip, we know it's not good to talk bad of others, but they'll never know, will they?

   Break the pattern, replace the habit, stop creating more karma.

   Our will can only get stronger, when we exercise it.
