While I do admire Buddhism to some extent, and some meditation practices can be beneficial, I don't necessarily agree that all desire should be avoided. The only problem with desire is when you desire more of something, and if you disregard the consequences of that desire, to the point where you may endanger your own or someone else's well-being. For myself, contentment is to be found through the gradual moderation of desire, and finding as an individual what I am well-suited towards. A major problem for me is that I tend to become overly ambitious, and I find that I got exhausted very easily because of that, so I become more frustrated and apathetic. I want quick results, and I forget that things take time.
