According to Lacan our desires are an attempt to satisfied the needs of our childlike state. All human desire is based on the satisfaction had as an infant, with our mother. That being said, any desire we have will not be able to fulfill our urges because as young children, teens, and adults we are no longer permitted to have such a physical closeness with our mothers. True satisfaction is an impossibility.
This is an interesting concept to think about considering our American culture. Specifically advertising and all the products ranging from cars, make-up and so on that are made to look like they will provide some sort of satisfaction. Food for thought.
