Sorry veerjio but I have to again disagree, I have had a problem with lust, and the desire for oblivion all my life. Pride and ego I have no time for, no issues there, attachment I do have a problem with. So for me, I channel my lust into my wife, I try not to let attachment rule me, and I visit oblivion when I feel it is safe to, given my responsibilities. I feel no guilt or shame at anything I do, and I spend the rest of my time helping as many lifeforms as I can, in whatever way I can, and that is my life, with each day, the shutters that hold the blinding light of knowledge open a bit more, some days they close a bit more, but overall, I know a bit more this week, than I did last week, about people, about myself, about life, about the Creator, and that is my path, and I would not swap it for all the tea in china
However, I know people that are have no interest in lust, or oblivion, but they have a huge problem with pride and ego, and behave terribly, so, veerji, I do not think we all have the same passions and thieves to deal with, I think we are all different, you are like me, you are fighting a war with your thieves, but for you it will not be over till you are the last man standing, I think that is a dangerous road, my opinion only...kudihug
