I am looking for a Scripture that talks about the reality of how people are always wanting more.

"Beware of covetousness."
1 Timothy 6,10
"Be content with such things as ye have."

Try these:
Ecc 1:8 -- All things are full of labor; Man cannot express it. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, Nor the ear filled with hearing.
Proverbs 27:20 -- Hell and Destruction are never full; So the eyes of man are never satisfied.
Ecc 5:10 -- He who loves silver will not be satisfied with silver; Nor he who loves abundance, with increase. This also is vanity.
Ecc 6:7 -- All the labor of man is for his mouth, And yet the soul is not satisfied.

Look up anything related to greed, lust, perversion etc. The book it literally full of examples of wanting more. It also explains what it is we should be wanting more of.

James 4:2
You lust and do not have; so you commit murder. And you are envious and cannot obtain; so you fight and quarrel. You do not have because you do not ask.
this is a start, but look online for TOPICAL BIBLE

Look into Buddhism. It has some BS like the reincarnation stuff, but it also has some really good ideas about making you happy.
