Desire

What's most interesting to me about desire is that it can't exist without aversion. There's a yin and yang relationship between the two which can sometimes be harmonious, but most times is not. How can I explain myself better? Examples. The desire to eat food with the aversion to gaining weight. The desire to be seen as attractive with the aversion to being seen as slutty. The desire to feel free with the aversion to feeling alone. These, of course, are very simplified terms of human desires, but what I mean to say is that something quite unique to human nature is that there always exists a level of indecision that we'll eternally have about our desires and aversions, because we're so impressionable. And we always find ourself needing to identify them, define them... otherwise we'll feel confused or lost. And this delicate balance of getting what you want and accidentally getting what you don't want is elusive and difficult to find. It's one of the reasons why we're always so unsatisfied with what we have, and why it's so easy for us to believe others when they tell us we need something else or something more. I know that I might sound slightly cryptic right now, but I'm sure there's something you can identify with that fits this description. Hopefully I'll be better at explaining it through my project.
