All of us desire something in life some desires are good (helpful) and other desires are bad (harmful).
And it's the harmful desires of mankind that makes us wicked, as a group or individually.
I personally don't think eternal life is the number one thing we should desire, especially if it means that other people will be destined for eternal torment.
The best, non-wicked desire to have is the desire for everyone and everything, everywhere, to be free from suffering, and at all times - all other desires become wicked if it becomes more important than this.
