Desire is not the root cause of evil or suffering.
God has created us with desires; to kill desire is to kill life; this concept be dangerous and suicidal if it is taken to serious proportions.
If fact, desires keep us alive.
Then problem is not with desires; the problem is with what we desire.
Our perverted mind (sinful mind) is full of sinful desires which is not good for ourselves or for the society in large.
Because we only have sinful desires that get us into trouble, we assume (another Godless reasoning) that desire is wrong.
DESIRE IS NOT THE ROOT CAUSE OF ANY EVIL; SIN IS THE ROOT CAUSE OF EVERY EVIL.
For example: We are naturally not inclined to desire God and his holiness; instead, we are naturally inclined to desire our glory and our selfish desires. Since, we have no clue of what it is to desire God, we assume that desire itself is wrong.
Only if we desired God, we will have a renewed mind which will allow us to desire the right things - that will lead us to wholesomeness.
In fact, we are created to attain self-realization through our desire for God.
I could write at length on this topic - but I stop here because I have intended to keep my articles short.
