Q: Are there not good desires and bad, high desires and low?
NM: All desires are bad, but some are worse than others. Pursue any desire, it will always give you trouble.
Why desire at all? Desiring a state of freedom from desire will not set you free. Nothing can set you free, because you are free. See yourself with desireless clarity, that is all.
