Why do we want what we know we can't have?

Answer 1

Maybe to compensate for the seeming lack of freedom we experience in such moments. Other times, some things are really very exciting just to imagine.

Good luck!

Answer 2

You mean you want what you can't have! or just you desire what you can't have.

What is wrong in that?

But if you ask, why?, "Why you ask such a question in the first place?" It is almost like why I was born to yourself?

At this point exactly we give birth to all the morality, ethics, self-control and all that standard thinking arises.

If this question never arose, we never have to have laws for acts of felony, betrayal, treason, and so on. It is good you have come to that point, and it would be better you cross this and go beyond.

Answer 3

Human instinct calls for the love of challenge and the desire to get what is beyond his own possibilities. It's an ardent, inexplicable feeling which sometimes defy sanity. It invokes dissatisfaction with the things he already has...and not quite thankful about. It reflects greed in line with blind obsession.
Mere wanting may not cause as much damage to one's self as forcibly acting on it. Yet still, it's wisdom wise to just accept the fact that there are things we really can't have.

Answer 4

When we can't have something we see more in it which makes us want it more. We notice what we like about it. When we do have it we take it for granted and realize the flaws so we don't appreciate as much. That's why we should be content with what we have and be thankful.

Answer 5

I guess its just a diffucult desire that each of the individual has. basically a dream, or the desire to be happy and everything, just consider that whatever you want let it be something that can help you and make you happy and not hurt you. so think of the "big picture" of having a thing that you cannot have, a positive and a negative.

Answer 6

The same reason we think that the grass is greener on the other side of the property. Envy is one of the deadly sins and humans have an abundance of that.

Answer 7

I think because we are always searching for what we think will make us happy or happier.

Getting what we want is our task... Still wanting it after its obtained, now thats the problem. If it doesnt take away the yearning you had before you got it, you still want more or something better.

So you keep searching... wanting what you think you cant have

Answer 8

Desire and Passion.
When I see something I want the first question I ask is what am I willing to give up to get it?
The second is ,Is what I am giving up worth it?

Answer 9

Cause the Grass is Always Greener

Answer 10

It depends on what our dreams are. Just because we want something, doesn't mean it's supposed to be ours. And it doesn't mean that it's what is best for us or our life purpose.
