people why we arent satisfied about things we have why we only focus on things that we dont have?

Answer 1

I agree imagine 50 years ago when having 2 t.v channels was the best thing. we have alot more advantages now and people still tend to complain they want MORE. Even if you're in a low income family and can't buy things you want like that x-box u still have wayyy more than families had back then and they were not complaining. Merry x-mas

Answer 2

It is nice to be content with what you have, but it can be stagnating. There is a theory that humans have always been psychologically programmed to "look for greener pastures" as a way to better mankind. That was probably really helpful when Ugg needed to find a nicer cave. Now days, though, ad companies and merchants use this urge to get us to overspend and buy alot of crap we don't need. McMansions, gas guzzling SUV's, $100 jeans, and $4 lattes. Everything is about balance. I welcome better things in life, but it is not my primary goal to attain them. I have learned to appreciate what I do have, which is fortunate for me, since I am very poor by most American financial standards.

Answer 3

Humans are goal oriented beings and always want to work to get something. Getting something new his half the fun of the thing you get.
