I understand what you mean, but without desire there would be no suffering in the first place to begin this cycle. We want because we are not happy and we think acquiring something/someone will make us happy. But instead, it just gives us one more thing to make us unhappy when it's not there or not what we expect. The solution is to move in the other direction. To not need or want. There's isn't a way around it, and if you're looking for one, you're still wanting. :)

True, that's why many rich people started out very poor and suffered a lot. Because they suffer, it beget the desire to get out of the suffering, therefore motivate them to do well in life. You just have to balance it out. In life, everything is about yin and yang. Same principle.

I can understand what you're saying. I think dukha may be best translated as aversion (running away from what is) rather than desire.
