Desire is a sense of
longing or hoping for a
person, object, or
outcome
When a person desires
something or someone,
their sense of longing is
excited by the
enjoyment or the
thought of the item or
person, and they want
to take actions to obtain
that goal.
Thomas Hobbes
(1588–1679)
asserted that
human desire is
the
fundamental
motivation of all
human action.
Plato, argues
that individual
desires must be
postponed in
the name of the
higher ideal.
- The Republic
Desire is implicated in
animal interactions
and the propensity of
animals to motion.
Reasoning also
interacts with desire.
- Aristotle,
De Anima
Because desire can cause
humans to become
obsessed and embittered,
it has been called one of
the causes of woe for
mankind.
Desire is thought to
be the cause of all
suffering that one
experiences in
human existence.
The eradication of
desire leads one to
ultimate happiness,
or Nirvana
But,
Desire for
wholesome
things is seen
as liberating
and
enhancing!
"Our longing, our
craving, our thirsting
for something other
than Reality is what
dissatisfies us".
Barry Long defined desire as stress or
strain. It is a tension between an
individual and the thing or state that
that individual desires. As the thing
does not feel this stress, the desiring is
a one-way tension within the
individual, an apparent reaching out
towards the desired object or person.
When the person responds in the way
desired, or the object is attained, the
desire settles down into a relationship.
A relationship is identifiable by the
presence of an attitude in yourself
which reacts in terms of "mine“.
“The strength of a relationship
cannot be known until after it is
broken. Then the original desire
reappears, modified by
experience. It continues to be
modified by repetition of
experience until eventually it
vanishes. Unsuspected by the
long-suffering desirer, its final
stage is usually a shadow-
existence of thinking and going
back over the past, powered by
nothing more than habit. Every
habit is a track left by desire.”
- Barry Long
“Desire itself can only be
eliminated by desiring,
and that always results
one way or another in
pain for the desirer. Living
is just that: ceaseless
desire eliminating and
reforming itself by the
pain and frustration of its
own wanting.”
- Barry Long
When a desire has been
reduced to the level of a
habit or idea it can be dealt
with and eliminated fairly
quickly by observation -
seeing it for what it is. In
that moment you suddenly
realize you are free of the
relationship as a need or
dependence "of mine"
- Barry Long
