Many thanks EagleSpirit!
Actually, it is written correctly -
"No seeking or desiring upvotes - if you don't get them, you will be disappointed!" The don't get them refers to the upvotes and an expectation and desire that you will get them. Then when they don't show up, disappointment often follows.
So the quest is not to seek or desire the upvotes in the first place, just write good quality posts from you heart - which you consistently do!
