My why? I don’t actually know myself, maybe I just want to understand this world through experience rather than just theorithecal concepts being told to me. Maybe I want riches to see what it is like first hand to buy anything I desire. Maybe I want to experience sex with a beautiful girl to feel what its like when dopamine rushes wildly around my neurons. Maybe I want to travel the world see and understand different cultures to see if it feels just as great as my imaginations. Maybe I want to leave a legacy because my selfish ego wants to just as great as the previous greats of the world. Maybe I just have the innate need to “know”.

But my why is not important… the point is desiring things is essential part of our life. Now whether it causes us suffering or not is another topic but the overall point is that desiring promotes changes to the world that leads to evolution and growth.
