We undergo almost endless experiences of enjoying the earthly pleasures. We might have undergone in many lives also. Has man become dejected after these earthly joys? Whether he is discontent with the pleasures of the world?

The discontent is not in the pleasure of material joys, but in the deteriorating and temporal nature of the material.
No earthly pleasure lasts or is permanent, and man can neither replace it enough, nor protect it enough to prevent it returning to its natural cycle of flow through life, but, man *will* try And it is in that trying that man becomes overwhelmed by fear of lack and this is the state of dejection which you refer to.

Because "The grass is always greener ion the other side." It is human nature to want what we can't have, so when we get what we want, we no longer want it. You'll always be looking for a greater thrill in life. That's also the concept of addiction. You look for a better high and when you find it, you have to start your search all over again.

Pleasure isn't everything. We need a balanced life. One where we continually are working towards our future. If you have experienced everything there is no reason to keep going each day. You have to have goals, hopes and dreams.

It is human nature to continue to want more even once you get what you want. It is in our nature to be creators, to continually want to seek joy. However the irony is that it is only when we appreciate that which we already have that we can make room to allow more into our experience.

true becoz all these pleasures are temporary. and desire is a thing that never comes to an end. lord Krishna says: "desire is like fire if it gets fuel it increases and if it doesnt it burns us." our true state is that where there is no desire, no illusory energy to beguile us; the soul needs to go back to that state. until then it cant achieve the eternal and real hapiness.

Unrealistic expectations and selfishness.
