Modern Society (or, desire.)

Today I address the issue of conformism. We all feel an inescapable desire to do one thing: Fit in. In the previous sentence, notice my use of the word "desire." A fundamental principle of Buddhism- Desire is the root of all misery. So I suppose this discussion (monologue) all comes back to desire. Simple and basic. All humans desire. Those who do not have rid themselves of it by years of meditation and devotion to making the world a better place. Those without desire have attained nirvana. The ones who have attained nirvana are supposedly the happiest. They have no emotional attachment, meaning anything can be taken away from them, but they will still be happy. If they lose a loved one, they are indifferent because love is an emotional attachment. They have no supposed "love." The first question about all this is- Is attainment of nirvana achievable? Can it be reached? The idea of Communism is built off of this. Nirvana, or a state of human perfection, free of desire, can be attained, but only by means of violence. Buddhism, as a religion, does not believe in violence. So how can this be achieved? That is what my research is attempting to discover. No one yet knows. The second question about all this is- Is nirvana a good thing? My answer- Yes and no. My personal opinions on this are completely split and I must say I do not have enough hard evidence to make this decision yet. Sometimes I think, yes, it is good, why would you want man to suffer? But other times I think- If nirvana means no emotional attachment love would not exist. And then how would our species stay alive? Without love humans would die out! And back to modern society. You don't have to rid yourself of ALL desire, but in my opinion, the desire to conform might be a good desire to get rid of. You can't live all your life just pleasing other people.
