I think that Buddha said that desire is cause for pain and suffering.
If you desire nothing there is no need to be unhappy.

A problem occurs when a person interferes with another person's desire. This is when bad things like killing, stealing, rape, and enslavement (controlling others) happen. This is, I believe, to be the source of all evil. It is the suppression of another's divine desire...
I used to think too much.
Desire is life. It protects us from boredom. It gives meaning to life. Everything is conscious desire. Flowers desire sunlight and water. People desire food, water, and shelter. The wind desires to blow. The sun desires to shine. The Earth desires to bear life. Desire is the conscious energy that flows throughout the universe.

The desire to not have desires is still a desire. The things which people call "needs" such as food, and water, those are only needed because you have the DESIRE to live.edit on 7-5-2012 by arpgme because: (no reason given)

sorry to say, but your "volism" fails miserably under a philosophical microscope.
Molester "desire" to molest. Killers desire to kill. Rapists desire to rape. The list goes on and on and just because of that premise, to allow desire in everyone to occur naturally, is ultimately a failed philosophy.
