Karma + desire

[sillypumpkins]

How do you think about the concepts of karma and desire when you put them together?

The ideas of suffering, karma, and desire (or ‘wanting’) have been on my mind lately. For some reason the phrase “to want is to suffer” has been floating around up there too. I don’t even remember hearing that phrase anywhere. Anyways.....


Is it that desire accrues karma? 

So, if you want something (or nothing), you will inevitably be disappointed, and therefore suffer? Simply because change is inevitable? 

Additionally, can one accrue karma without suffering? I’m thinking an individual who is wearing “chains of gold”, one who has accrued a lot of positive karma particularly.  

Thanks all hope is well with you folks ❤️
