There are many realms in which desire exists. Desire affects all of the human emotions. Our desire arises from our greed and need for position. Everyone will always have desires, since they cannot posses everything. The need for emotional acceptance is the cause for our emotional desires. Our desire to pursue acceptance leads us into a deeper and darker search of love. This path, even if love is found and possessed, is a never ending one. There is rarely a time when a person does not have doubts or feels less accepted or less loved. Because of the existence of these times, desire cannot really be fulfilled. This example is true for almost everting. Material desires, for example, can be lessened, however they can not be stopped. The human desire to posses make us want, that want makes us not want to share (or at least not with everyone). Desire is found in all levels of our cognitive and unconscious thoughts. These thoughts can not be controlled, however it up to the person to act on them. The ability or restraint and control over our desires is what makes us civilized.
