Joe,

Believe me, if you have 1 or 3 coins, then you're a 'hoarder' compared to me.

Now then governor, what's all this talk about "dissembling" then, eh? I agree 
with your definition regarding desire and attachment, but I also understand the 
definition of 'coin' and they definitely have 2 sides. If we're talking 
Buddhism 101 here, then it's not too hard to see that 'craving' is the coin and 
attachment and desire are the 2 sides.


Shish kebab, already.

Mike

Mike,

I'm no Numismatist (though I have a penny or three), so I know not about 
"coins".

But:

Desire is for what you do not have;
Attachment is to what you've got.

Sheesh, already.

No more dissembling, now, OK (All)?

Take a definition as Definitive.  And understand.

That latter is the most important!  When it comes to words.
