Teachings in Buddhism

According to Buddhism the only way to get rid of suffering is to get rid of your own desires. I found this idea contradictory, even though I am a follower of Buddhism myself. In my point of view it is impossible to get rid of one's desires completely.It is part of human nature to provide satisfaction for the five senses constantly. For instance, if you go to a coffee shop with your friends there is a higher possibility you going to buy a drink for yourself even though you are not really thirsty. It is part of providing satisfaction to your tongue after your eyes catches the mouth watering, colorful and refreshing beverages in the coffee shop. It doesn't matter how full your stomach is; your mind is fooled by the refreshing looks of the different beverages. In my point of view, it doesn't matter where you are in United States or in another country, it is impossible to completely get rid of your desires due to the the constant satisfaction of sensory organs of human kind.
