      Well, the way I've learned, it's not so much about avoiding desire as about learning to let go of attachment to the things we desire.

      Imagine someone tells you that they're going to give you a chocolate cake. Chocolate cake is good! It's good to enjoy it. But if you spend all day fixating on the cake before you eat it, if you wish for more cake after it's gone, if you compare all subsequent chocolate cakes in your life to that one, then how much suffering have you endured because of your attachment to the cake?
