"Just as Death and Destruction are never satisfied,
so human desire is never satisfied"
If human desire is never satisfied, how might this truth affect our attitudes toward, say, spending money? Realizing that our desires will never be satisfied means we can say "no" to spending past a sensible point. What about the area of disciplining children? Acknowledging that their material desires will never be satisfied, we don't have to attempt to please them so much in that area. We can accept, and teach our children to accept, that at some point we need to say no. The lie that our desires can be satisfied keeps us lusting. Counter it with this truth, and you curtail lust.
