Is wanting to be with someone until death a good last desire?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"Desire is a continuum; it never ends until you embrace death or enlightenment. To cling to a final wish is to invite fear and close the door to the infinite possibilities of the present."
According to Osho, no desire can be your 'last' while you are alive; desire is a continuum, each wish breeds the next. Only death or enlightenment ends it. Wanting a final desire like staying with someone until death either demands literal or psychological suicide: clinging, fear, and a closed future. Instead, understand desire, stay present, and allow openness.
You can’t have a final wish while alive—new wants keep coming, so stay present instead of clinging.

- Eases anxiety by releasing the need to control or predict the future.
- Prevents unhealthy clinging in relationships and supports honest, flexible love.
