Aha I would agree that probably everyone has some heirarchy of desire within them. My fascination is with ideas, the way they can be built and rebuilt in an infinite number of ways, which sometimes becomes a big dead end spiral of neverending thinking. It is good to have a strong passion and desire, but anything in an extreme can become unhealthy. There is nothing wrong with any desire, but if our desires are causing us suffering by their lack of fulfillment then one might wonder whether the desire really is what it is, or if it is compensation for another lack we perceive in ourselves.
