Is desire a part of human nature? 

[vagabondsteve]

@veronicachic Yes, but desire for food, sex, water, shelter, etc. Our desires have been exaggerated, manipulated, and multiplied.

[arpee9216]

Desire is the fuel of life. Without it, life is boring. It's what keeps people going. People work because they WANT to have shelter. People buy food and drinks because they WANT to live. There are people who overeat but eating in of itself is for the desire of living.

Desire is natural. We were born wanting.

[vagabondsteve]

@arpee9216 Agreed, but what you're describing is needing. We need food, shelter, work, clothing, to survive. It's wanting which can cause immense suffering & the destruction of self and the planet. It's being which brings us peace.

[arpee9216]

@vagabondsteve , I agree but do we really "need" to survive? We survive because we want to see another day. Since we want to survive, we thus need food, shelter, work, and clothing.

Desire is looking at something and saying "Wow, wouldn't it be great if I had that!?". Yearning on the other hand can be bad. Desire is a pure want without the obsession. Yearning is being obsessed with something that you don't have and it makes you feel bad. So probably "yearning" is what you're talking about?

[vagabondsteve]

@arpee9216 I think we are getting into semantics. Buddhism talks about desire being the source of suffering. This has been true in my experience. The mind desires and lives in a perpetual state of lack. Being is at peace with life as is. What you call boring (living without desire) I call liberation. Yes, on a biological level we do need to survive. It's programmed into us via evolution. However a house, car, tv, etc. has been conditioned into us.

[sijacquz]

The mind cannot be permanently satisfied from this material world - ever.

The ultimate solution, beyond trying to reduce desire [which in the long run never works] is to bring the mind up to the spiritual planes through certain meditation methods.

There the mind's emptiness is ended, there desires end because that is the mind's origin.

Being stuck in the physical world trying not to want anything is only a starting point

I wish Life could Be an Ideal world Where we Can be Happy but It isn't where We can Wander about And get What we Want like Some god-like Figure. no; Life is A place Where you Need to Plan and Make goals, And suffer Through the Hardships of What is Placed in Front of You. (This is What i Got from You and Myself from Having to Disorganizingly find What life Is. it's Tooken me A year Of self Observation and I can't figure Out what Will causes What.)
