I agree. There is also a learned mindset; to treat desire as a lack or as a vision of fulfillment.

Personally, I think the role of meditation and happiness is in creating emotional/cognitive distance between one's self and the observed desires, not the lessening of desires, per se. Though it depends on one's path, I suppose.
