No, desires aren't really good or bad in themselves.
I would rather have desires. Going after them makes interesting things happen; staying at home all the time makes my brain rot.
Why not just kill yourself then? It seems easier than living, and there's less risk of contracting desire.The things getting in the way of fulfilling your desire aren't the fetters. The fetter is the desire.
When you desire nothing, you are free.
