People are never satisfied with what they have; they always want something more or different. Do you agree or disagree ? Why? Give specific reasons for your answer.

It is true that people are never satisfied what they are having and they want something new or something different always. There are always positive and negative side of this desire. Sometime it’s a disease or curse and sometime it’s a blessing for us. We can see some of the instances.

So far as technology development of this mankind is concerned, the innovations that happened in different sector are due to the desire of having something new and different. From the ancient days this basic instinct was there in mankind. People have invented one after another technology so that can lead them to a more comfortable life.

So far as the strong desire for money and wealth is concerned, we can clearly see there is a negative impact of that basic instinct. The more people run after money and wealth, the more they are in an unhealthy competition with each other. This desire of more money and wealth makes us envious at our peers, neighbours, or sometime even our blood relations.

So far as the educational growth and thirst for more and more knowledge is concerned, it is really a blessing for us. This basic instinct of remaining ever dissatisfied with the existing level of knowledge pushes us forward to understand physics behind every phenomenon occurring in this world. Every time it helps us getting one step closer towards the convergence for the exact solution to a particular problem.

If we talk about the attitude of conquering anything, we have seen in the history that the barbaric wars took place due to this never satisfying mentality. Kings have expanded their kingdoms endlessly sometime without any valid reasons, but only for the basic instinct.

Still there are many more examples are there like the urge of getting closer and closer to God, which depicts that mankind will be always dissatisfied with what they have at present.

I agree that people are not satisfied with what they have because not one but all the humans are greedy and want more and even don't understand that what they have can be possible that others also don't have.
