Wanting to want...

It is always something to want..
The more we want to not have to want it, the more we want it...
We do not have to, we want to..
But, what is it really that we want?
Is it as simple as that? Wanting?
We want to want.. And that is what we are wanting?
Why do we want to want?
Are we so use to wanting?
And what could cause it?
Lack? Lack of wanting... Hardly...
But, lack of lacking?
Always wanting? ..
Go figure?

it is good to want to want somebody otherwise they get the idea that they are unloved.
it shows interest. interest in interest is good!

from my own observation all beings want permanent unbroken fulfillment
the paradox is the wanting is what keep us from it, because fullfillment is already there we just think it comes from some thing attained so attach to things
without self definition in things we can realize what we permanently are, when we're desireless theres no need for things so all that left is that permanent state, which is so fullfilling its painful & blissfull at the same time, complete & utter fullfillment, we all are already that all thats needed is get rid of the thought you are not that
interest in interest awareness on awareness

Fullifllment, is simply another word for good. The two things are inconcievable without emptiness and bad.
Meaning want and no want, is a constant state that changes its specifics, but always stays in a cylce together forever.
All life is about overcoming limit, but limit themselves are endless, not in their limitidness, but in their constant evolution, their constancy in being a limit that can both be surpassed and not be surpassed, cyclically. I think this is inevitable, wanting is something you cannot do without and you cannot do with, because once you have a want you want to be without it and once you have no want, you cannot DO without it.

what an idiotic thread.
people will always want. Even people who can buy lots of stuff want things, sometimes they are unattainable.

Cute..
Wanting is OK, but why does people want to want?
It is like putting butter, on butter..
Shure there are different brands, but it is still butter..

maybe it is just of our nature to want. like said above, fulfillment.
satisfaction?
the need for something different in our lives...so we "want" change?

wanting to want is enthusiasm there is a great deal of conflict when you want something and hate yourself because of it. i don't reccommend getting entangled about it. enthusiasm can really contribute to great experiencing. like laughing.
when a person does not want to want, but they still hang on, the mental waters get really polluted.
you can still edit what you want to want, and by doing that - over time - you will not want stuff that is bringing you down. needs to be done with understanding and compassion.
I like that rocking horse pic too - whish I had a copy without the text.

If you're wanting to want you're not making any sense. By wanting to want you are actually just wanting. I don't get it.

Not necessarily. Here's an example. Say I am at a party and there's a girl who's very attractive by societal standards, and she's all over me. For whatever reason I am not into her, but I want to be into her, because I know that later I will regret not being more into her. I want to want her, and the fact that I don't want her causes me suffering. You see?

But in doing, one do/-es..
One need not want to do, nor want to want.. That is the very opposite of a short-cut...

You must also want to not want. Perhaps it's the indecision that causes suffering? Moral dilemma?

This is a good point, you are essentially feeling a very wide range of feelings, I can count 3.
Your instinct wants not. Your ego is confused. Your superego wants.
So you do want. Wanting to want is still wanting, but on a meta-level. You simply have a reason to justify wanting outside the parameters of your natural reactions. Generally, I stick with my superego, instinct is pretty stupid a lot of the time, especially when it comes to sexual matters.
