In Buddhism, it is lust, the relentless drive to fulfill our never-ending cravings that produces dukkha (suffering). Like a vicious cycle, instead of making us happy, fulfilling our desires only drives us to fulfill other bigger, more complex desires when we realize that we were not completely satisfied. It is only when we can have the right views about the nature of reality that we can become free from this cycle of suffering.
