Hello Gar,
re: "This 'effort' that you alluded to, imo, is the behavior that emanates from a self generated desire."
-- I suppose. Where else do desires come from? In my experience, all human beings desire to be happy and/or free from suffering. Many are unsuccessful (when you look at things over a long period of time).
re: "If one finds him/herself in perfect harmony, no such desire would arise."
-- Agreed. Of course, if "perfect harmony" = the "status quo," then one may still desire to make a change, to go down a different path, and possibly to invite others to do the same.
Health and happiness,
Bao Pu
