Will we ever stop wanting?

Question by Dangerous: Will we ever stop wanting?
Sorry philosophers, for this insipid question, but does life just seem like there’s no stopping point sometimes? Like the short lived satisfaction you receive from achieving a goal only gives way to a new goal? I mean what is the point if you put so much into waiting for that great heralded moment to arrive only to ask yourself ‘this is it? this is what I’ve been waiting for my whole life?’ (And I know this is almost similar to when someone disillusioned with life asks ‘What the hell’s the point if we all die in the end’, but it is not that question at all- refer to the title.)

The obvious answer is that you should keep finding new goals, new things to hold your interest, but is that really the end destination? Is that all? Reaching goals?

In the movie ‘The Life of David Gale’ Kevin Spacey lectures that we’ll never cease to stop wanting in some beautiful precisely argued thought that I am not going to attempt to reiterate, but my point is that I don’t want to an example of what he was talking about, thus, I want to stop wanting.

Do I even make any sense, or am I a crazy person?

As long as we need we will always confuse them with wants.
