Lust, Drugs, & Porn: False Paths to Peace

I was just sitting here struggling when a passage from my book came to my mind. Well aware that I was using lust to escape inner anguish, I remembered this quote:

I am reminded that lust is the illusion that promises satisfaction but delivers suffering. May we all abandon false paths to peace and reach instead for what is real.
