Desire is Free

In our entire life, we pursue all sorts of things. Material gain, money, power, success, happiness, love, lust, friendship, recognition, acceptance, etc. rightfully or wrongfully. There is so many things in life that one desire, that is because desire is free - it has no action, it is just a state of mind. Everybody has a right to desire and you can desire as many things as you want. However, when you make that desire a goal, then that desire is no longer free because you will need to act on it.
