How to overcome all human desires

[noodlelover]

Many people on this forum believe that desires for things like, Love, Sex, Companionship, Friendship, and Status are hardwired into them by evolution and there's nothing they can do about it.

But all you have to do is meditate and these desires go away. You can meditate them away completely and find peace.

It is necessary that what provokes these desires should not be within reach

Sounds gay
You could probably use a bunch of drugs so you stop caring about the other stuff as much because the drugs are your primary source of pleasure
But then you will desire the drugs
Still probably a worthwhile trade unless you go too far

Then you're addicted to drugs, drugs destroy your brain. Then your life becomes destroyed because your brain is destroyed.

Then you wind up in jail, and you can't rely on drugs anymore.

No.

It's a skill so it's hard to say how long it will take to get good at.

It also depends on how calm you are, already. If you're high stress it's going to take you longer to learn.

But you could probably learn to reach deep levels of calm, to where you don't need anything in less than a hundred hours. Which takes much less time than most skills, like chess, or learning to play an instrument.

No.

You can use legal drugs like nicotine and adderall
And use low enough doses so it doesn’t ruin your life
But I suppose if you use that little it won’t be enough to make you forget everything else

These will make you more stressed when you're not on the drug.

Meditation has the opposite effect. You become more relaxed, even when you're not meditating.

You get better sleep. Your problem solving, intelligence, and neuro-pasty increase. Your rate of aging decreases. Your Testosterone and muscle building increase. Your fat storage decreases. Your will power increases. Your cravings for junk food decrease. Your rate of aging decreases. The telomeres on the end of your cells increase. Your skin quality improves. Your looks improve.

Meditation is an overall positive. Drugs are an overall negative.
