The burden of desires

It is not that we always get tired by working continuously or doing extra hard work.
Usually, it is the burden of desires - more wants and cravings, that exhausts us.

Having less desires, fewer cravings, and less expectations can keep us heartier and happier - content and more energetic.
Life becomes more meaningful - more peaceful when we do not have too many expectations from anyone - including ourselves.

  1. Desires & Expectations are source of all ills of human miseries. These, in fact, arise out of sheer I(ego) & Want(notwithstanding competence). So. The way out ? Try foregoing "I" & "Wants". Easy to profess and quite tough to practice..... nevertheless an honest attempt in this direction may result into Need-driven rather than Greed-driven planet.
