Why not desire?

Remembering a quality of life study I read recently. Interesting findings! how our perception of life changes over years as we grow older!

Something which interests me often is the change in dimension of our love/desire for various objects ( including human). And our perception of love! Life seems to have a strange way of changing our priorities! Thus changing our perceptions!

All of us would have desired something or somebody at some point in life. How many of us would have held such desire for the same object for ever? Very, very few probably? So why there is so much hype about giving up desires when all of us are doing so by default! or by circumstances! Loads of books, theories and discussions on non-possession when most of us dont possess anything or anybody completely ever! I think living a routine life is the better way to live rather than talking about giving-up life!

Just live the way you can, gaining and losing, never knowing how the next moment will be!

I agree with you, but everybody puts a question what is your aim in your life? comaprative study in our society, external factors that make a fool of himself and puppet of some bodyelse.Interpretation for the purpose of life is the main fault for all this chaos.
