How desires lead to anger which causes faulty thinking

Attachment to having the things you want, getting your way or having pleasurable experiences will just breed a craving for them.  When your cravings are not satisfied you become angry and frustrated.  Anger confuses your thinking process.  When your thinking is confused, it alters the way you remember the events going on around you.  When you remember things incorrectly, it will change the way you reason because you will be basing your judgment on faulty information.  When your reasoning is faulty you are doomed to make the wrong decision.  All this comes from indulging yourself in sensual pleasures instead of learning to control your mind.  Meditation will help with this.
