TLDR; I see desire as the route to pleasure and pain, like a hunger, and that true comfort can only be found by being in a state where no desire exists. Life feels like an addiction to me, so I'd hope that death would be how it feels to be relieved of that hunger.
It's kind of like "Absence makes the heart grow fonder", but with said hunger being a form of suffering that grants the pleasure meaning. Beyond that a lot of it was just examples over how one who suffers less tends to seemingly seek it, like hungering to be hungry in a way.
OH ok I understand better. Well, desire can be good because when you get what you desire, you feel good
So do drugs, but in time one finds themselves hungry for them once again. The desire is fleeting, so in many respects I've aimed to trivialize it in the name of comfort and peace.
To yearn is to feel anguish, to achieve what you've yearned for is relief, but there is no escaping that yearning. It truly is like addiction with repetition as how one builds tolerance, forcing the seeking of further novelty until it could drive one mad.
In less words, I desire desiring less.
No because drugs are bad. Except mushrooms. They made me feel funny in a good way. Sometimes this man next door gives me chocolate and it makes me feel funny. He is nice
You see how the room to compare the two's there though, right? Drugs in this case work as a comparative metaphor.
A metaphor?
Yeah, I called life addictive and otherwise compared the properties of it to how a drug can affect someone in order to demonstrate how the hunger works in this model.
By explaining the impacts of drug addiction it can become easier to look at the nature of hunger itself.
Edit: Is it over my use of the word 'Hunger' for more than just food?
