Its stated that all desire is suffering which I am begining to understand, however when contemplating desire I begin to see it as a double edged sword and become confused.
I want to rid my self of bad habbits as the teachings suggests. Yet I find that I have a strong desire to do so. Theres a craving to have this or to do that which is a desire and at the same time theres and equal desire to stop the craving. I realize the teachings tell us not to crave nor to avoid and to discriminate. However a find in the process there can be a strong desire to discriminate. How does one reconcile this? Further more If I want to dedicate my life to help others for the purpose of compassion and to free others from suffering is that not a desire?
