Gita says Kama will finally lead to destruction by a confused mind.
=====================
Verse 2.63 (The effects of kama and krodha):
krodhad bhavati sammohah sammohat smrti-vibhramah
>smrti-bhramsad buddhi-naso buddhi-nasat pranasyati
>From anger comes delusion; from delusion the loss of memory; the
loss of memory causes destruction of discrimination; and from the
destruction of discrimination he perishes.
The residue of past sensual activities and the pleasure or
frustration derived therefrom will delude the mind to pursue sense
objects. This debilitating effect creates a magnetic attraction where
the desire for sense objects becomes extreme. From this extreme desire
springs kama lust which is the next stage of desire. Lust makes one feel that they cannot exist without their desire being gratified.
From lust springs krodha anger, a frustrated outrage against that which stands in the way of obtaining the gratification of ones senses. From krodha arises sammoha, a bewilderment and delusion, that produces loss memory and discrimination between
what is right and wrong. When this happens, one perishes, with their
spiritual opportunity being drowned again and again in samsara, the endless cycle of birth and death of the material existence.

Sri Ramakrishna has said that God will laugh when two brothers partition their property saying this is mine and that is yours!
