Someone recently asked me what is on my bucket list. I didn't know what to say. I'm familiar the concept of such list but it always seemed to me more as a device to set aside things we want to do. When I feel strongly about something I can't help but to feel a sense of immediacy, a feeling that if something was to happen it was either now or never. To put that on a list would simply be a waste of time.
A burning desire is like an obsession. The adjective that goes with such compulsion is fixation, not forgetfulness in such way that it must be inventoried onto a list.
So here my lukewarm desire list:
