From the article: "A woman psychoanalyst wrote me a very intelligent letter in which she said that “in the last analysis, desires always go far beyond the object of desire.” The fact is that I’ve had everything I desired, but the “far beyond” which is included in the desire itself is not attained when the desire has been fulfilled."

I took "being" to include being somehow immersed in the "far beyond" once the desired lifestyle is met. Like realising you're in a dream without eventually waking up.
