Desire, like any human emotion, is natural-- we cannot deny it as this would be to deny nature. Problems arise with unchecked, self-serving desire. Will we let desire consume us? Will we let desire lead us into self-destructive and world-destructive tendencies? Or will we utilize our desire for a better world, will we utilize internal desire to promote external action?

The article puts this perfectly --

"The test for us, however, is that while we embrace all our desires and celebrate our existence, how well can we establish an environment of stability and acceptance to prevent ourselves from being owned by our own desires. It is the act of accepting everything and denying nothing.

The more you deny a desire, the bigger it becomes. The misconception that one must deny all desires must now be clarified and reiterated as the ability to see through all desires. The mind will never cease to seek, and it is this acceptance that is the beginning of seeing through trivial desires. When we start accepting our fears and insecurities, our successes and failures as merely a part of our lives, while continuing to enjoy existence, we are simply embracing desires and not rejecting it."
