ALL THE VICES ARE ATTACHMENTS

The phrase ‘this is not the way to think’ when I get frustrated, especially with my mother, is guiding me now. Realized yesterday after getting very frustrated and angry about mom kicking out a fine young man who came to work for her yesterday that all frustration and anger is attachment. That all the vices—kaam, krodh, lobh, moh, hankar  -- lust, anger, greed, clutching to people or ideas, pride --are attachments.

The brain begins to tire and I must close the file before it winds me up to the point of exhaustion. Some sunshine is coming in through rents in the clouds – and I will go play a bit.
