After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. Some very wise beings have observed a relationship between desire and s uffering. Most of us have also noticed that the search for lasting happiness in the merely pleasant is futile. Yet leaping to the assumption that because a thing won't bring lasting happiness that the thing is somehow flawed might be a less then helpful interpretation. It assumes first that our mission here is to find infinite, lasting happiness.
