Rich, healthy, and with all the necessary components we need to live and survive sometimes we humans aren’t ever content with life. We seek for more of what we don’t have and continue in an endless pursuit for additional insignificant goods. Our ambitious minds take us to great lengths and inevitably provoke us to underestimate and minimize our satisfaction and appreciation for what we do possess. We lose self control and allow outside forces to regulate our satisfaction and appreciation forcing us to seek new goods that will continue to fulfill our greed, at least for a while.
Just like a delicious chocolate cake will gradually satisfy you less and less as you continue indulging more and more of it, our appreciation and satisfaction for what we already have diminishes over time and usually over quite little time. The instant pleasure we get from buying a new car or new pair of shoes disappears almost instantly after obtaining it. It almost seems our brains over value quantity and not quality, despite the value of our possessions.
We can’t control our emotions but we can acknowledge our flaws. That’s all we can do and that’s something we should appreciate.
