15.1
Evaluation gives rise to desire and lust’—that’s what I said. And this is a way to understand how this is so.
15.2
Suppose there were totally and utterly no evaluation for anyone anywhere. When there’s no evaluation at all, with the cessation of evaluation, would desire and lust still be found?”

15.4
“That’s why this is the cause, source, origin, and reason of desire and lust, namely evaluation.
