Is Desire Really a Razor Covered in Honey?


Weeping Sore

Or is it just the honey itself? In which case, will too much honey cause diabetes? Or is it just sweet, sweet, sweet all the way down? All this is assuming you like honey. And don't like having your tongue cut by a razorblade, which if to the contrary, more power to you.

Hmm...., do you want to discuss "The Garden" by Michael Roach? Then this should be in the literature subforum I guess, though maybe you're more interested in discussing Geshe Micheal Roach's approach to Buddhism.



To me desire is more like a hungry monster hiding inside of me, trying to burst out and take over. So it's more like a mix between Alien and Mr. Hyde, but the consequences of desire are aptly described by the honey on razor image, I think.

gastropods are hard as hell. immunity to edged weapons is nevertheless offset by treble damage from salt.
