Desire is a strong feeling a person has about wanting something or an event to happen. Our desire is simply what we want for ourselves. A desire is seen as healthy when it fosters us to become more, while staying satisfied with our present situation. A healthy desire won't make us look less of ourselves or like failures when we are unable to achieve or meet it. A healthy desire is bred by passion, an interest or a sense of purpose; it is about us becoming a better version of ourselves while appreciating our current position.
On the other hand, an unhealthy desire is a desire that lets us mirror another person's life. I desire this car because Mr B drives his own car. This type of desire is toxic because it doesn't allow you to appreciate your current situation, but will make you frustrated and bitter when you are unable to achieve what you want to achieve; it is rather a competition with the next person than trying to self-develop. An unhealthy desire has a marker that says you will only be happy if you achieve the set goals. Once the goal is achieved, the satisfaction you feel from the achievement does not last a while before it creates another void. It is a vicious circle of unsatisfied want. An unhealthy desire is one where the object of want is not the main factor, but the feeling we get from having to achieve the object.
There is a feeling of accomplishment in progress; a step forward is celebrated and satisfying, while on the other hand, there is no stopping point since the desire is influenced by the decisions of others. There is no pressure to succeed or achieve a set goal when the desire is healthy, making us reach for the sky with our feet flat on the ground, while on the other hand, we try to look taller by standing on our toes, which causes us to stress and lose balance just to look good in the sight of others. We do those things for ourselves, not minding who sees our progress with the healthy desire, while with the unhealthy desire, without spectators, we may tend not to do or want them because nobody is there to watch and see us achieve them or have them.
