"A desire path, or desire line, is a path developed by erosion caused by animal or human footfall. The path usually represents the shortest or most easily navigated route between an origin and destination. The width and amount of erosion of the line represents the amount of demand. The term was coined by Gaston Bachelard in his book The Poetics of Space. Desire paths can usually be found as shortcuts in places where constructed pathways take a circuitous route."
- Wikipedia
A desire line is a path that's been created by people who want to get from one place to another and don't want to waste time with things like convention, rules, boundaries etc. Which is both the best and the worst thing about people.
