Lecture: Desire


One lecture that really stood out to me was Professor Brady's lecture about desire. Desire is when someone has a need, want, or a passion to get something that they do not already have. Desire can be either created or inherent. Some examples of created desires are cars, women, or money. These are things that you need to work to get and are not just given to you. A perfect example of an inherent desire is the desire for love. Inherent desires are things that you cannot control. This lecture really opened up my eyes and taught me that there are different types of desires and that you need to work to obtain most of them. It also taught me that desire can be controlled and that 90% of inherent desires are sexual. This lecture really helped me realize that if you want to obtain the things you desire, you really need to work hard and never stop until you get what you want.
