Desire

When a person wants something it is because they do not have it. When they finally aqcuire it they do not want it anymore. Of course this is obviously true in the case of materialistic possesions like iPhones, cameras and jewelery. In other scenarios like getting a tan, beauty or perhaps drama in life it is different.

People who are able to get tan easily do not want to stay in the sun. They don't want to get to get darker because they aim for fairness. Those who are "white" stay out in the sun bearing sunburns and other pains to finally get the perfect tan. Desire is accessory to a person's living conditions and their natural bodies. Generally a person who's able to get something greatly longed for by others does not want this item or thing. The other people want it because they do not have it and cannot come across it easily.

People who want drama in their lives may want this because they think their life is boring, with nothing interesting happening. People who have drama so not usually welcome it invitingly. They have a strong desire to have a life where there isn't so much stress whirling about, what with projects, fights, break ups and scandals.

The human race can never be satisfied. Once we get what we thought we wanted we are unhappy again. I believe this is what drives us to achieve. Society continues to advance because we cannot be satiated. Our world develops because of this "greed" I guess you could call it. But I think it is a positive thing, something which allows our lives to move forward. The great thinkers of this world wanted something. Many of them got it and today we keep on wondering how it would be if we had...
