Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.While there are many, many differences in the perspectives of Christianity and philosophical Taoism, the idea of desire as being the root of our suffering is in agreement.
~ King James version ~
There is no greater sin than desire,
No greater curse than discontent,
~ from Verse 46 of the Tao Te Ching ~
