Week 4

In the passage of Craving, it goes in describing the poison that craving can cause a person. It can create a person of a miserable life. The passage describes that cravings are like a “root” and unless properly taken out of the mind and body, it will come back again and again. Cravings, the way the passage is describing them is a negative aspect that will cause us to not live a good life. Anything to excess is detrimental to us, and fixating out time on a particular substance will accumulate all our time and case us to not be at out best selves. The passage relates craving to a person like weeds to a plant. Roots must be dug out of the plant in order for the plant to truly flourish, just as we humans must do with our cravings. Living the good life requires us to have the best version of ourselves, if we spend all of our time worrying about cravings, we will not be about to be those versions. Later on the passage, o=it goes to say, “Let go of the past! Let go of the Future! In the present, let go!”. This excerpt shows that cravings can cause a person to not reach their full potential.
