Abstract

The aim of this research is to investigate the causal relationship between desire and misery. In society based on materialistic values, people cannot live without desires. Thus, it is argued in the paper that too many desires cause misery and feeling of deprivation. It also creates dissatisfaction with the ways of living. The random sampling technique has been used for selecting respondents from Shah Abdul Latif University, Khairpur. The data has been verified through the SPSS software. The results showed that received value of the chi-square is greater than the tabulated value with p-value of 0.000 which indicates that the people who are more inclined towards excessive desires, they mostly suffer from misery and unhappiness. People with less desire are comparatively satisfied with what they have.
