Yes because we think that what we have not tried might be better than what we have tried. We do not know. Some people feel that having got what they want that they have been cheated because someone else has something that they do not have. It is just greed. They want everything so they are angry that having attained what they wanted it is not enough it does not give them everything and they go on a hungry crusade to get more. It will kill them in the end.
