"First of all, the question was about the effect of the desire on the person who has it, not the planet..."
Related to that portion I had a small tangent. On a minor scale, enjoying something likely will diminish how much it'd be enjoyed at a later time, it taking more time to enjoy it again than it took to stop enjoying it as much.
If a desire remains unfulfilled it could end up torturing the person as well I guess.
Then of course there's the sorts of life strife may be introduced as a result of said desires, acted out or not, successfully or unsuccessfully, as well as the effort it requires.
"Don't tell me the condom pollutes the environment or smth like that..."
Hah, nice, technically that counts, but there's always room for more destruction. If a kid's born from it that's another mouth to feed, the night of fun might have long term repercussions of some kind, the person desiring it might have inner reasons to not approve of their own behaviors, the girl might introduce drama of her own, there's a lot of possible dimensions. It'd be easier to figure if the people involved were less vague, but even beyond them there's still any possible costs paid, which can in turn push other unrelated problems.
The problem is that it takes longer to build and repair than it does to destroy, and often building and repairing involves destruction of some kind to accomplish. It's not even a balancing act either, as being destructive at best only makes room for more creation.
I really don't get your point. First of all, the question was about the effect of the desire on the person who has it, not the planet...
But even so, how can you generalize destruction to the fulfillment of every desire. Say you want some sex, have a one night stand. Both you and the girl are healthy and have a good time. How is that distructive? Apart from the religious aspect of sinning, ofc. Don't tell me the condom pollutes the environment or smth like that...
sure sure... that's what they all say...
Hmmmnnn... desire... normally I just don't... but not too long ago, during a descent into madness, you know, when I thought I was speaking to extra dimensional beings inside my head... I tried doing the tantric thing with a celebrity... whoa is that stuff ever good...
