Desire

Desiring, is a funny activity. The things or not-things one desires lead to the end of that desire. Like when one desires an object, the moment that object is obtained, the desire for it vanishes. So in a way desire is an self-destructive activity, itself leading to its destruction. Stronger the desire, sooner it wants to self-destruct.
Is true enjoyment in desiring or obtaining? Why do we want to be without desire all the time? at least thats what is suggested, as most of ones activities arise out of some desire to do this or that, to get this or that, to achieve, to reach, to fill ones stomach, to sleep comfortably, to be free, to be loved, to be religious or spiritual and on and on it goes. We also desire to be desire less, but is that possible?
Can one conceive an activity which is not motivated by some want or an appetite? Is one capable of such an activity? Desire seem to never end but jump from object to object or feeling or emotion or person. Is there one who can say -Thats it! All my desires have ben fulfilled and I no more desire.
