Some of us think of the Buddha and perhaps Herman Hesse’s classic novel Siddhartha, while others might recall the novels of Milan Kundera or perhaps Gabriel García Márquez. Some people say DESIRE makes them think of hunger, while others ponder food scarcity, or working creatively in the kitchen to produce a delicious meal. Desire may conjure the contrast between the poorest among us and others who live for extravagance. Desire for many is about passion, love, poetry. What do you think of when you think of desire?
