Desire, the root cause of sorrow

These words of Buddha is quoted widely. It never felt relevant to me when I was young. But now having seen life a lot more, I am finally getting it. It feels more meaningful.

Do you feel that desire is the root cause of all sorrows?

If there is an endgame in reaching nirvana there is a desire to do so. And the Buddha desired to reach and hold middle ground between the believers and disbelievers. There's lots of desiring in Buddhism.
