The drive enables us to think that once we have accomplished this one thing, then we will finally be happy (desire) this is by Schopenhauer also described as suffering, as he viewed life as suffering, conflict. When we reach a goal, when our desire is fulfilled we will feel happy, but happiness is a temporary reward for the worst of all to humans is boredom, boredom is worse than death and before long a new desire will commence and the cycle continues. That way, merely existing is for us never enough, you wouldn't just be because the will is too strong.
This is my own thoughts and theories mashed together with Schopenhauers and I'm sure, many others! ^-^
