Caught up in the temptation of the absurd

One of the saddest things in life that I have no answer for is the intense temptation to beautiful people
Sometimes I say to myself that by creating a healthy emotional relationship, this problem will be solved
But then I say against myself again, so why do people cheat on each other so much? :face_exhaling:
People are Shit…

What about intense temptation to power, to pleasure itself, to eternal youth and beauty standards (hence plastic surgery), to fame, to food, to success and public attention,..?

There is no rational answer which is gonna give you peace when considering those temptations.
Consider instead the underlying truth of life: everything is bound to end and phenomena are impermanent.
The only righteous thing to do is to live one’s own life according to one’s values.
Doing the right thing in the present moment.

Waves are gonna go up and down, but you stay anchored in the depth of the ocean.
Nothing else.
