Probably accurate.

Boredom or suffering... pick one.

Desires are not a bad thing. Yes there is that bittersweet feeling when you finish a delicious meal or enjoy intercourse with your wife or go to a vacation and it ends, but the balance we experience by witnessing the bad times adds to the pleasure of the former. And nothing in this life is forever.

We yearn for Paradise-- the realm of peace where the pleasure and happiness never ends.

As for desires themselves, Allah gave those to us. There's a wisdom behind them.

They just have to be attained ethically and within limits.

There is a hadith that says "the root of all evil is love of the world."

So yes in a way we should not be attached or used to those pleasures

And suffering is just a part of the worldly life. Suffering has benefits too.
