Write an essay on endless desires of humans
Answers
Answer:
We are taught to seek fulfilment outside ourselves, rather than within.
The clothes makes the person. The job makes the man. Is life really meant to be measured in such material ways? Absolutely not, for the sole fact that we are not mere matter, we are the essence within. There is no measuring to be done. After all, what is there to measure, and by whom? Our true presence, our consciousness within, is formless! We are not the temporary form we appear to be.
We are conditioned by culture to believe that happiness is found through consumption, that a person’s success is determined by whatever they are able to achieve and acquire. The more you have the happier you will be—or, so it is thought.
We are desperate to be more beautiful, to be more successful, to have more attention, more love, more fun, more friends, and more money, cars and homes. We want to play more and have more exciting experiences. We want more spirituality, more connection, more passion, more purpose and more meaning.

Not only is the world constantly changing; our own desires are constantly changing. It is in the nature of the human mind that it does not remain satisfied for long. Some things may bring us a lot of pleasure for quite a long time, but we are always wanting something better or something new. So the pursuit of pleasure doesn’t lead to lasting happiness.
Often desires themselves, rather than their not being met, are the problem. Many desires are a normal healthy part of life. But some desires are for things that are not conducive to wellbeing. Some desires distort the way we see reality and the way we live. We lose our perspective on what is truly important.
We often pursue things – possessions, pleasure, power, fame, experiences – believing they will make us happy, only to find the reality of them to be illusory or fleeting, or not what we thought they would be. We may have just been pursuing a mirage or a fantasy we created in our mind – perhaps just a projection of our hopes and fears.
Relentless modern advertising stirs up our desires. It appeals to our greed, our vanity, our insecurities. It feeds the ILLUSION that getting everything we want will make us happy. Many products are actually detrimental to our wellbeing but that won’t be mentioned in the advertising. Lottery advertising is perhaps the most extreme, promising a life where all our desires can be fulfilled; implying that lack of money is all that is holding us back from being happy.
All desire is FUTURE orientated – when we get the object of our desire, we will be happy. Meanwhile in the present we can feel discontented, lacking, dissatisfied, impatient.
