Desire. The word itself is stimulating! I love quotes, so this was a fun post for me to read. Now, the last quote... OK, I respect and admire the Dalai Lama, but I have to tell you - this quote and the previous one of his that you shared with me - I'm not agreeing! Desire is far from being the root of all evil! I desire many things that are in no way evil. Desire is motivating. It all depends on what we desire... =)
Being the creative person that I am, I like #2 and #4 myself. I feel, therefore, I desire!
