Let us not infuse desire and craving, that they are separate of themselves. It is of emptiness that we do crave, and its of craving that we do desire, for the realization of emptiness is a painful one indeed. Therefore, craving is not desirable, but rather a painful urge treated by desire. It is desire that is used to fill, but fill what? Indeed, it must be our emptiness so that craving will be no more. It is not that we desire desirability, but rahter we do desire so that we may reach fullness, and because of this we thus know we are empty. Is there fullness to be reached, or eternal craving?

As long as we are on this earth there is always fullness as you say, or growth. It's not about craving or desire. It's about self mastery and sacrifice and and plain ordinary choices, as well as putting aside the natural man to become more godly.

The pain from emotional emptiness is a painful response to inner desolation and that is what many humans spend their lives running from. The inability to withstand the emotional pain can drive a person to seek relief...which often includes physical cravings but it is the desire for change and resulting courage to face that emptiness that will lead to inner peace and fullness.

Craving is a hard addiction like eating, a desire is a soft wish, like having two lovers.

It is eternal fullness that we crave not the craveing its self.
