Episode 3279:
David Cain explores the paradox of desire, illustrating how our cravings for experiences, like dining out or vacationing, often lead to disappointment rather than the joy we anticipate. He reflects on the Buddhist teaching that true happiness comes not from fulfilling desires but from understanding and managing them.

Quotes to ponder:
"The ease itself we can find much more readily by understanding our wants rather than scrambling to relieve them."
"Getting what you want leads to the same problems as not getting what you want."
"We suffer whether we get the thing or not. If we don’t get it, we suffer the loss. If we do get it, we still suffer because we know we will lose it."
