Then to desire is human and always involves attachment and we all are suffering (if Budhha was right). And I'll get my buttons pushed eventually on this one, since I want to desire something and go get it. I'll go have a tantrum now. lol. Oh, yeah, my ego will never be enlightened but I like to think my spirit is.
