Possibly the most pernicious of emotions. To want, yearn, crave and to not only not be able to get the object of those feelings but for them to be so distant in their possibility of procurement.

Indeed. That’s why there are entire religions based around “desire is the root of suffering”. I’m actually pretty good at getting myself to not want anything anymore, but then I don’t fit into this society where everyone else is running around chasing things. I’ve gotten so good at not caring that I’m not even doing things to procure a stable and happy future for myself. Seems like that will end up causing suffering that I was trying to avoid in the first place. Oh well.
Hope… Expectation…. If we are aware of unrealistic desires would it not be easier to aim for something we perceive as achievable in an effort to balance the risk between failure and reward.
