Strong Minded People Avoid These Three Poisons

from Sheep Get Sheared

In his early teachings, the Buddha identified “three poisons,” or three fires, or three negative qualities of the mind that cause most of our problems—and most of the problems in the world. The three poisons are: greed (raga, also translated as lust), hatred (dvesha, or anger), and delusion (moha, or ignorance). To win in life, we must use wisdom to win the war within. To avoid falling for the traps of the tricksters in power we must understand that the most dangerous man or woman is one who has mastered themselves. The Sheepeople get sheared and slaughtered because them allow themselves to be exploited by their own ignorance. Be better or follow in their footsteps, which will lead you to ruin.
