There is a certain grasping that comes, I notice, with desire, that feels unpleasant.
At times when a friend has offered me something they did not want or value, my
expression of appreciation and thanks then propelled a change of heart on the part
of the friend, and they make a new decision to keep what would have been, a "gift." 
The undesirable has suddenly become full of value due to another's finding it desirable! 
But then on the other hand, it seems almost a psychological law to want what one doesn't
or cannot have.  This comes to play at times in affairs of the heart... if only we could all
be open giving hearts!
