Desire is the strong inclination or taste for the achievement, knowledge and enjoyment of something, which in many situations can even go from being just a strong inclination to directly become an uncontrollable need to satisfy that taste or enjoyment..
But in addition to referring to the inclinations or tastes that someone has, also the term desire is used to refer to sexual appetite and that is why for certain people who do not have an open mind or posture, the word "desire" is tinged and loaded with a somewhat sinful connotation (as they say). Thus, by the mere fact of listening to it and even if it is related to the most näiveThey will try to cover their ears so as not to listen to the unethical situation that you propose.
As long as and for the rest of the mortals who are not in this path, a desire can be associated and mean the most noble and loving thing, such as the desire for peace in the world, leaving behind grudges, conflicts, battles and wars. So, in broader and more comprehensive terms, desire can be motivated by the achievement of strict material issues, or by people who are part of our affections.
On the other hand, desires are the result of a process that begins with an emotion and then becomes feelings and finally desires. For example, I have the desire to buy a sports car, but before becoming that desire, it all started as a feeling of attraction for that car. Desire, in a strictly scientific context, begins as a cerebral impulse that is sublimated in the form of emotion; When emotion is processed within the framework of our personality and our values, the time has come to conceive of that impulse as a feeling. From that feeling, the desire itself is reached, which is a social and affective equivalent of that initial emotion that gave rise to it.
All very nice, very nice ... material desires on the one hand, altruistic desires on the other. However, wishes can sometimes become a double-edged sword for certain people who are not supported or firmly grounded. In these cases, the most sublime desires can become real nightmares for the person who craves them and for their environment.
Because it can happen, that for example, in the case of the desire for the sports car that I mentioned above, you want it with a strong and incredible vehemence, but in reality you do not have the necessary means, better known as the vile metal, required to meet that wish. So, unfortunately, what can happen if one is not in cars of those things to which they can access and to which they cannot, is that that desire turns into a frustration for not being able to achieve it and that later it becomes the formation of an attitude. pessimistic and envious. In fact, according to many experts, the circuits in our brain that give rise to desires originate in a very similar way to the networks of neurons that participate in addictions; indeed, both systems share what are called reward responses, in which the pleasure factor is strongly involved. Therefore, we pay attention to certain desires, especially those that obsess us or become really uncontrollable impulses ... because some, as we see, are measured in various amounts of zeros.
