Why are people never satisfied?

Be careful. You may never know the passion in the heat of experience! Have a great life!

It is good to have goals, but everybody should know what goals can he achieve, what it takes to reach them and what satisfaction does the reaching of the goals give. Because I see it a waste of precious time to live only for having a nice future, but the most beautiful years from our lives are going past by. Of course, we should ignore the fact that we have to be abe to live good even when we are older, but I think that the quality of life can be sensed better in the young ages.

I think that many people want to be wealthier, I certainly want it, but at the same time I am content with what I have and if something better comes on the way, I'll take it, but I will never put all my energy on reaching something. I don't think that it is worth it.

I couldn't tell this better, I totally agree with you. It is useless to put all our energy in chasing a dream, in reaching our goals, and we are neglecting what we already have. Maybe we will reach in a nearer or further future what we have proposed to do, but we don't realize the life we have and we may loose that. I think reaching goals and normal evolution is good, but not a forced change, an energy consuming one. I always said it is important to have a certain wealth, but only if that is reached in time, and if the health is okay. I wouldn't want to have reach a good wealth after a certain age, because I couldn't take the full advantage of it. Maybe my descendants would benefit from it, but I want to enjoy life, every minute of it, not only to reach something to have what to leave behind me. Maybe I am a bit selfish, but this is who I am.

You are very right, many people always chase better things and when they achieve it, they will realize that it wasn't worth it and regret the time they consumed doing that. So it is better to live our life, and enjoy every second we get.

I am satisfied with myself, with what I have accomplished till this point of my life. Although I would want to live better, to be more wealthy, I don't consume too much energy in reaching it. Because I don't know that I will have success, I don't know how long I am going to live and I don't know what physical condition I will have in the future. So I don't want to waste to much on building my far future, I want to feel good in the present.

So you say that people are unsatisfied because they love the challenges and that gives adrenaline to them? But then when they will enjoy what they accomplish, if they are always looking for something else?

And if many things wouldn't be invented, then we would be fine with what we had. You are right, we have to have goals, but I don't think that they should be achieved with giving up the present, and reaching of these certain goals cannot be the main thing in our life. Do you think it is good to give up the pleasure of life, the meeting with friends, the good parties and the interior calm and satisfaction just to chase something that is unsure? I wouldn't do this, I like leaving in the present, I still do my studies, and I am pretty good at them, but not the career nor the studies are the number one priority in my life. I don't put all my energy in it, because it may be useless, as we don't know what the tomorrow brings, how long are we going to live and so on.

You are right, but many people work from morning till the late night just to have a better life in the future. But what is the point of wasting so many years on dreams which maybe will never be achieved and even if they are reached, they will come to late. I would say, enjoy the life, especially they youth, because time is ticking, and nobody can stop it. Live in the present, not in the future.

I am also studying economics and I know this phrase. And there is also the thing that the needs are increasing more faster than the resources or means as you called them. I don't know why is this happening. Many fellow students are only talking about their future and they forget to live in the present. I feel that these is a shame, because when they will realize that time is not coming back anymore, then they would be very sorry for concentrating so much on future.

Let me ask you something: do you think that investing 5 years for instance for a goal that gives us 10 minutes of satisfaction if reached is worth it? My parents always ask me why I am doing only what is necessary, in every part of my life, because they consider that I am capable of more. I always say the same thing: because I don't like to force myself, to put so much energy in things which don't give me lots of satisfaction and either way I don't think too much about future, as I don't know how long I will live, and if I will, what health I am going to have. Of course, I don't neglect my future totally, I have some ideas, but everything at its time.

I think that it is natural to have dreams, to think about a better life, but we should always live in present and enjoy our life minute by minute. I wouldn't want to waste valuable time from my life on things which have little probability to happen and even if they will happen, they will not give me the satisfaction I hoped.

It is true, but every person has a natural evolution, and reaching of goals will come with this evolution. Live in the present, keep future in front of you, but only for orientation, don't put to much energy in it, because it may be useless, as we don't know what is going to happen, how long are we going to live and if our health will be good.

I think every person in this world wants to improve a little something in a certain area of the life, it is natural, but many people put all their energy to have a better life in the future. I don't think that this is a positive attitude, we have to cherish the present, because time is ticking, life is short, it cannot be reversed and all we have for certain is here and now. what is going to happen five minutes from now, we cannot be 100% sure, so it is useless to be nervous about it. I think the best attitude is to be satisfied with what we have, but if something comes along the road, to pick it up.

Congratulations on your family, I am sure that you consider it the greatest achievement in your life. It is good to know that there are people who feel satisfied with themselves and who enjoy what they have and not chase dreams, neglecting the present.

I was thinking more about people who are always chasing something they don't have and they never appreciate what they have. I think this attitude leads nowhere, because this type of people would never enjoy what they have, because they would always strive to have more things, to have a better social position and so on. Of course, I would like to live better, but I don't see myself chasing wealth, and to forget living my life. Because life is short, the time cannot be turned back and I think that the youth is the best period of life to enjoy whatever we get. Because if we always think about future, we will never cherish the present and at the end of our life we will look back and regret many things. I want to say when the time comes to end this life that I've been there, I've done that.

I am also a type of person who is satisfied with what he has, but I would like to reach another level. It sounds controversial a bit, but I know for sure that if I would reach a certain point of wealth and health would be also there, I would stop chasing money. I don't want luxury, but I would like to not be worried about the house, the car, the clothes and the food and all it is necessary to have a decent life. I don't want glamor, I want to live well.
