Some people aiming for great things even though they are not capable of. Maybe, it's a natural thing to have that kind of attitude. But we need to be contented in everything that we have. Some people are not contented in what they have, they aim for power, money, possession, and other things. Is it necessary? Why we can't live a simple life, just be happy as long as you fulfill your goals, and everything you dream of, why aiming for high? If we have everything that we need. Is it necessary?

Some people are insatiable , that's why . But when everyone learns how to live simply , they would be contented with what they have .

@SIMPLYD - yes, you are very right. If you allow me say in other words, I would say - Forbidden fruits are sweeter, therefore, many people want to get what they do not have and they keep working through out their life to acquire material things.

@dpk262006 The desire to be at par or better than the others , is one . Another is wanting to have a lot of other things in life and have a taste of such life they have never tasted yet .

I guess it again explains the difference between every human!! Everyone seeks satisfaction at different levels!!! For some people, satisfaction comes when they think they have all they need but some want more and more and more!! You just cannot keep them quiet!! Sometimes even that turns out bad but I guess that is human nature!!

True, they don't know if it will result to good things or bad things.

I totally agree with you but most People just want it all I am content because I feel lucky what I have got and what I have achieved specially my Son and Daughter we might not have money power or anything like that but we are lucky we have Life So no the People who think they need more are ungrateful for what they have

Your thoughts are praiseworthy . Life would become beautiful if one starts feeling contended with what s/he already has. Life becomes like a struggle, when people keeping running after material things to acquire them by any means. Many people do not feel contentment in their life and they keep desiring new things, till they are alive. I feel contended with my life, whatever the great God has given me, I'm thankful to Him.

@dpk262006 you know what, I admire those people including you, I'm contented with my life, I don't know if the person in my life is content with me. I have a problem with that why I post it.
