Difficult to answer about tikka masala with only few lines of text: if the object of desire goes against the five silas, then it is bad desire. If it makes you into a better and long-term happier self, then it is good desire. Listen into you and you will find out yourself.

There are good (kusala) and bad (akusala) desires. The desire to be free of desires is a good desire and one does not need to worry about it.

Me and my Zen frens are clearly the right side but unfortunately we need to share the Zendo with some on the left. I am getting better and better at tolerating hippies.

Thanks man, these are encouraging words.

That is a good idea, I am taking art lessons. Maybe it will work out there.

Thank you! I thought you would like it.

Me too...

Thank you for the advice. I will start to try to work on step one.

You are welcome.
