It's really worth teaching ourselves to how concentrate. Try not to delay that.
As we are learning to concentrate, we face what is 'unconcentrated' in us, and what does not want to concentrate.
A big unconcentrated element within us, is the constant 'attending to desires'.
Lust is an ego within us that is about 'attending to desire'.
Lust in its nature jumps towards the new and the different in the external.
For lust to concentrate in on one person, means its death. Because it is in lust's very nature to look superficially at a person then move on towards new and different sensations.
To concentrate in a person, allows us to see into the depths of the person to find their essence. In sacrificing lust, we find the essence in a person, which then allows us to see the essence in others.
The many different desires of pleasant experience in matter come from the defect of lust in general, even if it is not sexual in nature.
