Here is the insight from the Dalai Lama for 6-19-07.
"Projections bring about the powerful emotional interaction between external objects and ourselves: people or things we disire. For example, when we are attracted to something, we tend to exaggerate its qualities, seeing it as one hundred percent good or one hundred percent desirable, and we are filled with a longing for that object or person. An exaggerated projection, for example, might lead us to feel that a newer, more up-to-date computer could fulfill all our needs and solve all our problems."
