We want something because a cocktail of chemicals in our brains combined with established neuron connections detect something as potentially pleasurable.
Killing desire will yield no good whatsoever. You'll become an empty husk, a mindless zombie. Desire is the only thing making you perform any actions. -
@iiii That is what happens when we are trained like that...why can't we live without gadgets??? why can't we live without any materialistic thing??? Fun can be experienced without these things also.

@AalbatrossGuy you're messing everything up. Desire is just a mechanism which is being exploited. It's not bad by itself, it's actually good, because it basically makes us alive.
-
@iiii Desire doesn't keeps us alive....passion does...passion is different then desire.....our desire drives takes us to the ult of ourselves but sometimes which of them aren't as quite good as normal.....passion is....you build up yourselves using passion....if you didn't had the passion to do things then you wouldn't have done....desire forces you to do that.

@AalbatrossGuy stahp the pseudophilosophy train. You're redefining terms on the fly making a huge mess. Slow down and make some tea and listen to calm orchestral/ambient music.

Well, so this time, it's not a joke....it's a moral kinda thing.....
Why do we want something?
We want something because we have the desire to know about it or we have the desire to achieve something or prove ourselves superior.
Why do we want to be superior?
People are so getting into the phrase, "Life is a race, if you don't run, you loose", that they unknowingly have the desire to be superior and fight for it.
This is totally not true. Life is not a race...it's an experience....we learn from life....we learn from everything and everytime we act. Life is not an assest that you race with. So, then why to race? Enjoy life. Gather true knowledge, not the so-called school's exercise book "knowledge".
Until we defeat our desire, till then, we are evils even though we think that we are good.
Desire kills, Defeating desire will give you a true life to live.
