Hello Shawn,
This discussion has come up multiple times. Consider doing a search here on HDF with the word 'desire' and you will get multiple hits and various insights. This then can propel the conversation further and stimulate additional ideas for your consideration.
Also , welcome to the HDF forum. It is our custom to greet the reader with some salutation i.e. hello, namasté , konnichiwa (kon-ee-chee-wa), hola, ni hao, etc. This sets the stage for a ~friendly~ discussion.
We look forward to your posts and your ideas.
