Raga

Today I learned about Raga, one of the 5 causes of suffering, which means intense attachment, desire, passion for. While attachment and desire and passion are good things, pleasurable things, having too much of them can actually become a cause of suffering. Sort of a fancy way of saying "you CAN have too much of a good thing". I was glad to hear this because I have been looking for a way to explain how I have felt about Blip recently. This is it! We should strive to balance out the areas in our lives that we are too attached to just as we should gently strive to balance out the areas of life that we may be averse to.
