This world is not in its natural state. This world was not created with sin in it. How can we call worry, fear, or pain "natural"? We try to stay away from it, right? Just like we try to stay away from artificial flavours and food coloring, fake cheese, butter, and people. (just kidding about the last one ;) ).
But what desires might Lewis be talking about? A big one that I can think of is love and companionship. We look for it in the church, but what human does not disappoint? We look for it in a spouse, but love is not always blind...
Ahh, but is this hopeless? On this side of heaven, yes, it seems quite bleak. But as Lewis says here, we were made for another world. Made; we were created by a good God for His purpose. Hope? Yes, indeed. There is hope.
