Desire is the original sin of humanity.
I don't know who said this first, but now, we all want to utter these words.
As the saying goes, common people are driven by their emotions and desires; as long as they live on grains and cereals, even monks before their ascension are subject to being zapped with high-voltage electricity over eighty times, have their own desires. Cultivators seek to shatter the void, Buddhists yearn for Nirvana, not to mention us mere mortals. As long as one isn't a divine being, they will undoubtedly have all sorts of desires.
In fact, even gods aren't necessarily without wants and needs. One goddess's greatest goal in life is to frolic in a sea of candy, now with the addition of flaunting a Junior Creation Certificate as she frolics... This shows that even True Gods have their own desires... Oh, I digress.
