Theories of desires focus on what is wanted. What do you lack the desire for, or what do you lack the desire to do?

I have never had the "desire" to theorize about a lack of desire. This question runs parallel with the modern phenomenon of ennui and the misuse of self-examination.

Well, I lack the desire to get up each day. I lack the desire to change another dirty diaper. I lack the desire to cook another unwanted meal. I lack the desire to clean my filthy house. I lack the desire to clean the pool in the heat. I lack the desire to pay bills. I lack the desire to check the mail. I lack the desire to work.

I lack the desire for anything that will bring me negative thoughts and feelings, even people. I only desire good and love.

Quite simply, I lack the desire to do the things I don't want to do.

However, in society, the bottomline is you are holding on to a specified role and you are required to perform the duties associated with the role, for which may conflict with your desire. You know, I want to lie on the couch and watch TV the whole day but as a janitor, I need to sterilize the TV cabinet.

This apparent lack of desire is superceded by a well-justified desire for the end-results of: pay cheques or worker appreciation ceremonies or admiration from co-workers or finanical stability or family happiness, what have you.
