likes and hope

thats true, when you have some thing you don't have the value for such thing (some times) but you always want to have those thing which the others have and you don't have, but what i thing this is the beauty of life , if what ever you want and you get it , there will be no VALUE of any thing, you have the value for those things which you earn by your hard work, THIS IS LIFE

well liking what we have is called contentment and satisfaction maybe people need to know how to be contented and satisfied...

I think it's hard for most people to be CONTENTED, human nature, forever yearning for something. But as you've said we have to love what we have. It falls on the foundation of everything, LOVE.
