.......a line from a film I just watched. I always sort of bought into the Buddhist line about freeing yourself from desire for true happiness, but dreaming of/desiring something is pretty stimulating - so long as you're basicaly happy with where you are/what you have.

or have I had one too many.......?

I agree. But remember that "life is suffering". So desire is the cause of suffering.

Best quote from film Jacob's ladder: "Eckhart saw Hell too. He said: The only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won't let go of life, your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away. But they're not punishing you, he said. They're freeing your soul. So, If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. If you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth. "
