Funny thing in life, more desires equal more loss and suffering. Having desire does not bring happiness.
*
Desire is the wrong road to peace and calm. It is the human path that is worn out and crowded with lost souls!
*
I found happiness was hiding as far away from desire as possible. Real happiness lacked desire and thought.
*
Now let’s explore satisfaction from a fulfilled desire view point. Does this satisfaction last. No, not at all. I have just as much desire or more in a couple of hours or less depending on the desire.
*
We are chasing things that can not bring happiness or even bring satisfaction for any period of time.

last month a man an icon here in San Diego put a gun to his chest and took his own life. Juneau Seau was a sports icon, a favorite son, with hall of fame credentials as a football star, money, houses etc.
Look at this life had the most outlandish desires met with a famous life like this.
The satisfaction attaining all these possessions did not even save his life.
Impermanent things do not satisfy but we chase and catch, fulfill many but then we are off for another.
happiness does not exist where we normally look for it.
