A commonly-held belief around desire is that, without it, we wouldn’t experience the beauty that life has to offer. In fact, we might not do anything at all, let alone seek the company of a loved one or the sight of a breathtaking sunset.

This week’s episode invites us to consider whether desire is a requirement for, or the cause of, experiencing anything at all. Perhaps the relief we feel when we fulfill a desire is actually the relief that comes from being free of desire.
