\"A<\/a>
A Buddist monk once asked Elyane S. Youssef the question \u201cHow can you suffer because of something that doesn\u2019t exist?\u201d… and I said to myself… he has never known love, especially unrequited…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

What is desired but not achieved
\nThe heart sore in desire can make
\nWhen we with a hope its possible ourselves have deceived
\nOur peace of mind we from ourselves we take.
\nWe think, therefor it is, it seems insane
\nEven though it does not exist
\nBecause we desired it, it exists though on a single plane
\nThat is the point a Bhuddist monk once missed…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
