that is a good question. based on reyv's reply i would say that desire comes from ego/personality. so if desire ultimately comes from ego, isnt it just about us having more 'wise' egos who choose 'feeling good' over 'feeling bad'? why would the source desire anything when it is already complete as it is? perhaps the ego is merely a tool through which it can experience things, just for the fun of it? but in that case why would it have a preference towards one or the other? if its all that is and it wants to experience, every experience will be just as valid as any other, and neither better or worse.

i am confusing even myself lol.
