The goal of many eastern religions and philosophies is to remove desire, plotting and striving from our minds. However I have come to believe that it is not healthy to do so. Or at least not healthy to completely abandon these specifically human attributes. Without desire one would have no drive to live, without a certain level of plotting or planning one would have no future stability, and without striving one would not be able to achieve goals. I believe that it is necessary to lessen these character traits in yourself, lessen the things you desire, stop plotting out every single detail of life and don't strive so hard for one goal that you forget about everything else around you. Just like any human characteristic from love to greed there are negatives and positives that go along with them. As long as we learn to use desire, to plot accordingly and to strive properly we can live a productive happy life. If we have constant desire, overbearing plots, and demanding striving we will surely face the consequences of such actions.
