Not if that desire is a desire to be on the path to enlightenment.

Personally, I found one of my biggest mistakes in life was
"fighting" desire. It felt unnatural and got me absolutely nowhere.

There's so many different things that people want and so
many different reasons that they want them. Maybe being
clear on what we mean by "desire" would help.

In my western view, desire is what gets us up in the
morning to do the wood and water thing. It makes me
tell my girlfriend how good looking she is. It fuels the
economy and has made for some classic entertainment.

What gave me more freedom was a fundemental shift in my
*relationship* with desire. (It's a long story that many
of us here share).

Thank you for the thought provoking post.

Paul
