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

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. 

 Its described as a lake of fire. Sound appealing to you?

Not yet anyway, but after enough eternity in it I'm sure it won't seem as bad.

I'm so confused

Over what in particular? 

 I'm not even sure, that's the problem

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. 

 No I just don't understand anything anyone is saying

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. 

 No because drugs are bad. Except mushrooms. They made me feel funny in a good way. Sometimes this man next door gives me chocolate and it makes me feel funny. He is nice

You see how the room to compare the two's there though, right? Drugs in this case work as a comparative metaphor.

Yeah, I called life addictive and otherwise compared the properties of it to how a drug can affect someone in order to demonstrate how the hunger works in this model.

By explaining the impacts of drug addiction it can become easier to look at the nature of hunger itself. 


Edit: Is it over my use of the word 'Hunger' for more than just food?
