We like the challenge of achieving things which seem unreachable. Once we get them the challenge is over. It is human nature. We outgrow our achievable and want to grow bigger for some other thing.

If by some cosmic mishap we were happy simply having what we already had and had no desire for anything else... then we as a species would quickly die off. Hunger is a want for food. The urge to come in out of the rain is a want for shelter. Wants are what makes us as people strive for more and better things... anything. Best wishes

Wow that's is quite well written for a 3 year old. But don't despair, when you grow up and get to pick out and buy your own toys, you will be so much better satisfied!

again, i answer a question with reference of a song, In The End by Linkin Park. the song is about how the journey is more important than the beginning or the end because the journey is when and where you experience everything and also the journey is what makes the destination worth it even more.

The forbidden fruit is always the most desirable. Once we get that, we won't want to keep that for too long either. I think it is the trill of the getting that matters to most people.

Lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and the pride of life is what it all boils down to. These things are never satisfied.

it's human nature to want more not matter what it is... It's just to what degree do people show it.
That and people are greedy and are always waiting for the next best thing.

Check out Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs - I think this will explain why we constantly want more...
