Very difficult to understand through logic. The cause is much deep rooted. The being seeks expansion, and this causes a strong urge, and the urge takes shape depending on the uppermost thought, and manifests in material world thus.
Look at a very small child, even the child displays the same tendency ! Nothing wrong about it. But the ultimate solution lies in discovering the true inner self, the core of our being, and then this urge dissolves in its own fulfillment !

That's up to you to break the vicious circle. Seriously, you can fall into the "keeping up with the Joneses" crap or you can choose to live your life to your own expectations and the heck with what everyone else thinks. Remember that those nice companies selling you junk aren't your friends, they just want your money. If you look at expensive stuff like that, a whole lot of what is out there isn't really all that necessary.

Simply, because we are human. It is our nature to want and covet things especially if we can't get them. We don't get what we want and we get what we don't need. Its the balance of nature and environment. It's like if we get a pair of jeans we have always wanted, we like them but then we think "hey wouldn't these jeans look lovely with a matching shirt" and then we buy the shirt and the we see the shirt with the jean and we think "hey wouldn't a pair of matching shoes make this outfit perfect?" and then we go on and on and don't stop until we get to matching earrings! So you see, there is no anti-dote against wanting and getting...the only thing that stops us is well the money left in our wallets after we see how much we bought!

Greed well let see here if your at level 1 you want to get to 2 but when your on level 1 you have level 1 friends... when you upgrade so do your friends!
are you trying to be the best! in your group or up at a high ranking? then it will continue on untill you learn to share!
it's selfish and well will distroy us sooner or later... <-- don;t worrie we all will be dead by then....
I do you do most people do this... it's what we know it's how we are happy with ourselfs.. or our world!

You want the truth? this is the truth, I hope you can handle it. the reason we are never satisfied is because we are not with our creator, The closest you will ever be to satisfied here on earth is when your saved, untill you get to heaven, and are back with God you will always want more, because the soul wants to be back with the one who gave it.

Who is "We?" Some people are very satisfied with what they have and never venture out for more. Everyone does not have a greed problem.

iTS WHAT THE BIBLE CALLS THAT WHICH IS WITHIN US. ITS THE WORLD, FLESH AND THE DEVIL. THERE IS ONE WAY TO CONQUER THAT.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

THEN HE CLEANSES US UP ON THE INSIDE AND GIVES US THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

Because we tend to try to fill a spiritual void with physical goods.
