'''Desire''' is a sense of longing for a [[person]] or object or [[hope|hoping]] for an outcome. The same sense is expressed by [[emotion]]s such as "craving" or "hankering". When a person desires something or someone, their sense of longing is excited by the enjoyment or the [[thought]] of the item or person, and they want to take actions to obtain their goal. The motivational aspect of desire has long been noted by philosophers; Hobbes (1588 – 1679) asserted that human desire is the fundamental motivation of all human action.

In [[Buddha|Buddhism]], for an [[individual]] to effect his or her liberation, the flow of sense-desire must be cut completely; however, while training, he or she must work with motivational processes based on skilfully applied desire.[1] The Buddha stated, according to the early Buddhist [[scripture]]s, that [[monk]]s should "generate desire" for the sake of fostering skillful qualities and abandoning unskillful ones.[2]
