## The Hypocrisy Of Desire…

In simple terms: we crave more, different and new. When one learns how to 'look' desire is constantly there, knocking and knocking like a sales man who has exactly what you want yet knows you don't need. This seems to be true whether it's for more love or more cars or more fear. The reality is that desire creates this constant conflict within us. This is why most humans breathe very shallowly…like a boa constrictor that's tight enough to hold you down but not tight enough to cut off the flow of air.
​
The hypocrisy comes to life as we all become so well versed at pretending it's not so. The white lie is the art of withholding the truth…while the extreme side of dishonesty has many faces and usually easy to recognize, the subtle forms of dishonesty remain quietly hidden behind a genuine smile or friendly offer. This is not about right and wrong but simply to notice a common flaw of ego's voice…it tricks us in 10,000 ways.
