Uncontrollable desire

When facing up in the sky, boundless feeling really enliven us. These senses create desires and we are motivated to chase such cravings.

In human beings, desires constantly arise. When one desire is fulfilled, they begin to chase other desires. An acute crisis of desire links to monotony, and a chronic catastrophe to depression. Human desire moves them, and gives their life direction and meaning. Desire is closely associated with pleasure and pain. Human beings feel pleasure at the things that, in the course of their progress, have tended to promote their survival and reproduction. They feel pain at the things that have tended to compromise their genes. The pleasurable things, such as sugar, sex, and social status, are strengthened to be desirable, however the aching things are wired to be disagreeable.

Desire motivates people in numerous ways.  Major categories of desire are physical desire such as hunger or thirst, intellectual desire, sexual desire, and economic desire like consumer demand. According to great Indian mystic poet Kabir, desire institutes the true wealth of humanity. He stated that huge number of people have countless desires. Mostly these desires concern the superficial aspects of life, such as personal appearance or personal properties. It is a consensus among several intellectuals that people having many desires are the poorest people in world because people cannot fulfil all desires in life. Then they are stressful and sad. Another group of people who have limited desires can lead successful life. In Buddhism, the second noble truth, people carry along desires and passions. Since they cannot satisfy all desires, they get troubled and angry, which is the manifestation of suffering.

Human also have unnatural desires, which are limitless and rooted in society. Fame, power, and wealth are desire for social status. Society also gives rise to disparaging desires such as some people develop to make others envy, or the desire to see others fail, or, not succeed in their mission.

If a person has strong desire to chase life goal, sometimes it may be fulfilled because he/she fully focuses on attaining it. People must have control over constant emerging desire through limiting their attention on few cravings and learn to fulfil them to get real satisfaction.

To end the dialogue, desires are never ending process. These desires constantly emerge in humans. People who have limitless desires live depressed life as they cannot chase all in their life cycle. It is always better to focus on few desires and make efforts to fulfil it.
