Are needs weaknesses?

a reply to: Profusion

I believe the delineation must be made between "needs" and 'desires'.

Desires are what you must work to free yourself from.

To get complex, you "need" to eat, which is fine. So eat.
Where it crosses the line is where that 'need' to eat becomes a 'desire' to eat. Yes, we can go on with a discussion that then the 'desire' is a natural progression stemming from the 'need', but then that would be missing the point.

Fulfill your needs and leave them at that, a need, give it no more thought, no more energy. Don't turn them into 'desires'.
