Desire--Good bad, ugly?
To desire is fine. To seek for something always is the way of mankind. Each of us has goals and goals. Each role we play in life has a goal! A goal at work, a goal at home. Some have spiritual goals too. To reach for something. If the desire is propelled by a want that will not harm any other, by all means get it. A good house, a better job. Desire is a beautiful tool use it. Yes desire which is at the cost of another person, is definitely the root of all evil which all Masters warn against. This is the negative side of desire. It is like fire. Fire burns, yet fire sustains too, provides food for life too. Just the same with desire. Every quality has three sides to it creation, sustenance and destruction. Desire creates a need to live a better life, sustains you keeps you going at your goals never mind the obstacles. And very importantly can also destroy you should get enslaved by desire. So use desire as a tool, a means to an end.

I think, freaking out with what you desire is also one way of fulfilling and later overcoming them. For me, it holds good.
To swim in the ocean is beautiful, an intense awareness of the senses
desire is just that, and just like the ocean can lap you up just as effortlessly
