TLDR; I see desire as the route to pleasure and pain, like a hunger, and that true comfort can only be found by being in a state where no desire exists. Life feels like an addiction to me, so I'd hope that death would be how it feels to be relieved of that hunger. 

It's kind of like "Absence makes the heart grow fonder", but with said hunger being a form of suffering that grants the pleasure meaning. Beyond that a lot of it was just examples over how one who suffers less tends to seemingly seek it, like hungering to be hungry in a way. 

 OH ok I understand better. Well, desire can be good because when you get what you desire, you feel good

So do drugs, but in time one finds themselves hungry for them once again. The desire is fleeting, so in many respects I've aimed to trivialize it in the name of comfort and peace. 

To yearn is to feel anguish, to achieve what you've yearned for is relief, but there is no escaping that yearning. It truly is like addiction with repetition as how one builds tolerance, forcing the seeking of further novelty until it could drive one mad. 

In less words, I desire desiring less.

 But isn't that a desire?

I'm good with a dark blank void, anything else would overcomplicate things. 

 Mfw you kill yourself expecting it to be like that, and then waking up in a lake of fire

Either it's a hilarious contradiction many have found themselves in, or it's the last desire they're bound to feel and/or carry. 

They try to make it out as if once it's achieved that you're pretty much just living in a peaceful autopilot with all your basic needs, like a meditative cow grazing in a lush, open field. I have mixed feelings on it in that to desire nothing is to be that much closer to behaving like a corpse, that you only live once while my idea of the void hereafter accomplishes the same thing as a matter of eternity. 

It leads to a lot of life philosophy questions.

Seeing as Satan's minions are willing to fight for him come The Rapture, there must be some form of enjoyment they can still find in it.

Is it over the idea of afterlives from other faiths? If so I can link some wikis or something probably if that'd help you learn it at your own pace.
