Elderly lotharioDear Annie: I am a widow in my 80s. I recently was introduced to a widower who seemed friendly and had a good sense of humor.

[번역스쿨] 갈망과 행복

[예제 226] Our delusion that happiness comes from the things that we desire, and that therefore by desiring and acquiring more things we will become more happy, is a vicious circle.

In this way our desires are always continuously increasing and multiplying. The raging fire of our desires can never be extinguished by the objects of our desire. The more we acquire those ob
