### - lol @ your impeccable logic hahaha... but what if said state of
'desirelessness' includes neither the desire to live NOR to die? (at least
in the sense that i don't exactly remember buying tickets to come here ;-)

### - just sticking a pin here... because creating desires (e.g. to live)
is actually part of my own argument that desire is not something that exists
by and of itself, but is actually something more humanly created/imagined
and then used/employed as a kind of vehicle for moving around in the world,
iow a seemingly justifiable motivation for moving around from one thing to
another that gets us around/justifies our actions...
also by deciding to stop

### - hmmm... being alive (being born) being NOT the result of any desire on
our part to live, and 'realising' that/living that, consciously and in full
awareness... is not the same as desiring (by default) to die as you
suggested before above...
a desire which one might well be lacking if they

### - yeah but we didn't 'desire' our life to come about... by the time we

### - only when it's threatened! :)
iow a reflex impulse to survive (the 'instinct' to survive, to maintain
one's current state of life) is something that's hard-wired into all living
things and has nothing to do with desire which doesn't have the same
survival value say as a knee-jerk reflex action, otherwise humanity would be
the most incredibly intellectually intelligent beings imaginable instead of
the bunch of dumbasses the vast majority of us obviously are? haha ;-)
no desire to live
no desire to die
no desire to not-die
just letting it all... h a p p e n
is pure being :)
