It may be said that desire is the cause of our being exiled from the happiness that is within us, and its momentary cessation just allows us to taste a little of that happiness for the time being.
I know this is true, from watching myself, and my kids, encounter unattainable lollipops. It's been a long time since I've heard anything that resembles the phrase I used to hear, "ignorance is bliss." It seems like that way of thinking is less a part of our culture now than it ever has been. We are accumulating/improving/avoiding robots. Too much technology. Too many options. Too much information. Degenerate times...big challenges.
