Ibuprofen, aspirin and other NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) can irritate the stomach lining, so it is best to take them with food, or a glass of milk.

Paracetamol doesn't irritate the stomach lining so it won't matter if you haven't eaten.

The Intricacies of Desire, a thread. 

Unexamined desires run rampant throughout the life of the average person.

With these desires comes pain. 

Desire, fundamentally, is a response to a feeling of incompleteness. 

A human being wants something that will fill the holes he feels within himself. 

When desires are fulfilled, they result in happiness.

When unfulfilled, sadness.

Both keep one hooked in an endless cycle of craving. 

What is one to do?

cond.

There is nothing to be done.

The very question of how to free oneself from desire stems from the desire not to desire. 

There is no β€œdoing” that will lead one to freedom from desire.

Rather, one must proceed by way of understanding. 

When desire is sufficiently understood, it ceases to cause problems. 

At the center of all desires is the very one that is never examined: the desire to become happy.
