+The mind captivated by a state of craving has no clue as to what pain and
+pleasure really are.  When we hanker after objects, do we experience peace and
+bliss?  Are we in control?  Do we feel at ease?  Or do we feel restless?
+Stressed and worried?  Insecure and desperate?  The slippery thing about
+attachment is that, in our bewilderment, we can’t tell the difference
+between pleasure and pain, love and desire, happiness and sorrow.  The craving
+mind can mistake anything for pleasure--even pain!  It’s like an addiction.
