This week, Sharon Saw ponders on our socially indoctrinated obsession with the gym, dieting and surgery, and challenges readers to change our own perspectives.

From the pursuit of sporting achievements to the pursuit of happines, Sharon Saw ponders on the sacrifices proffessional athletes make, and why the rest of us put so much effort into the things we do - be it golf, sex, and/or simply looking good.

Lust - not unlike greed and miserliness – is just another attachment that might prove meaningless in the end, writes Sharon Saw.

'Reflections of a gay Buddhist' is a new column by Sharon Saw in which she shares her tumultuous journey through life, love and the bits in between; and tries to make sense of it all with the Dharma as her unfailing compass.

Don’t let your resolution fizzle out even before the Christmas tree is dismantled!
