While i sit here and sulk like a five year old, i wonder why in the hell do we have to face new things in life. You have a job, why do you want another. Love, that we have, but no, we will look for another. Your life, that you have, but you want to change it for another. Aren't i just the stupid one. But to keep on learning threw mistakes. I am not so sure. TATA.

Hi Saphrina,
Men will always want more than they have. That is human nature. People who can control that urge live a much happier life than the others.
I can control myself in some departments of my life, but there are many areas where I just want to have more.
You are not the only one stupid, there are many out there(me included).

Hi saphrina! You are not alone in your thoughts by no means!
Everyone always thinks that whatever they have isn't good enough
and they should be striving for something better! That is what
life teaches us and it isn't always correct! Sometimes what we
need and what we have is already right in front of our faces and
we don't even see it! That is the problem with the world today!
We might have everything that we need and want and don't even
realize it until it is too late! So keep your eyes open my dear
and maybe you have all that you already wnat right in front of
you! Hugs, Opal

Well I believe in be content and satisfied with what we have with regards to love, never look for another. But when it comes for job, never be satisfied, always looks for a growth, an new ground to explore.. Again when it comes for life, changing it for other, thats a real meaning of life. When a person say he/she happy because of you, that is real happiness..so life needs changes, else you will be bored. This doesnot applies to love.

hello,saphrina. I once thought of this and even now i also tell myself there's something we've got to chase and still other things we should be satisfied with.Everyone has something have to give up when we make a choice ,sometimes the lost things would come back and your choice would pay off one day if your choice is towards a right direction in your life,such as we ought to chase our dreams continuously in our life .But there are also sometimes we have to make a stop,such as the love ,if we find a person whos sincerely good to us ,why do we have to change for another? At this moment,the less we want,the happier we'll be.
All the above are my opinions toward your question , Good luck to you!

Every one wants more its called lust. We lust after every thing we don't have. It's in our bodies to want for more. I think some times is good to want for more to strive for better but some times its not worth it.
I see families that never see there mom or dad beacuse all they do is work to be able to provide material things when all kids really need is quality time. Yes these parents are striving for more but I think its in the wrong areas.
But on the other hand if you work your way up to a goal at work I think its okay to strive for that more.
Its about your goals. If you have goals to do better for the right reasons its good to look for more to try for more.

hi saphrina I guess thats what makes us human as I have often wondered the same thing. I see people who look like they have everything, yet they are unhappy,they want more more and more.No you are not stupid,you really shine with intelligence. I have been trying to be content now with what I have but I yearn to be back in an apartment with my son wo rking again. this has not happened yet as the economy still stinks but you know really I do have a roof over my head, get fed three times a day, and my son for now is in gov.sponored housing as he still looks for a job. I know he too feels this is not what he wants but for both of us we are still better off where we are than out in the streets all homeless and seeking shelter. So sometimes we must be content with what we have. he he he

i think this is an endless journey. and you must treat this like a journey. i think you must decide your stay at any place. same do this for here. and during the time dont think to move. so that during that time you will not in the state of dilemma to switch over.

Well, everyone is not contented with what they have. I guess it's human's nature. I've had things that are lost because I wanted more. I've had precious ones gone from me because I have not treated them well because of others. I hate myself for doing so but hell, I'm just human.

Being able to recognise these fruitless acts in life is already a big step forward, but to truly being able to practise not to be after new or better things is not easily. After all, most people are just not contented with what they have. In good sense, it allows people to pursue excellence and challenge their limits in whatever work they do. In bad examples, it sets up a vicious cycle to trap people and let people become never satisfied with whatever they have.
