Ahh, but what if you desire something you can't have, for example: I desire to live forever. Does not desiring the impossible lead to your own suffering? Desiring something that is hard to obtain leads to suffering as well, maybe suffering you can accept but suffering nether the less.
It is not just the action itself that leads to suffering. Physical suffering perhaps, but when you throw in mental or emotional suffering as well then desire can and does lead to suffering.
