Do you agree with the following statement? People are never satisfied with what they have; they always want something more or something different. Use specific reasons to support your answer.

I fully agree that people are never satisfied with what they have; they always want more.
Profoundly everyone wants to feel love, but none wants to give it without the hope of some reward or returns. Everyone wants to be fulfilled with something and the said fulfillment vanishes very swiftly thus one never feels contended. Rightly a thing that is meant to satisfy us and give us pleasure stops doing so after an interval. Hence no one is ever satisfied with what he or she possesses rather one starts visualizing the next want.
When everything one achieves stops exciting him or her then one keeps thinking about how much he or she misses and how imperfect the life is without it. So it is not only that one can’t enjoy what one has achieved, but one also sinks deep into a perpetual pleasure hunt. The problem is not that one wants too much or that one wants to take over the whole world to experience everything. The real problem is that even if one would achieve this, dissatisfaction shall still persist. It is because one feels more unfulfilled, unhappy and bored simply because the desires keep growing and one wants endlessly more and more.
What you need is a desire that will never stop fulfilling you. It has to fulfill you endlessly, making you feel more and more pleasure. It shouldn’t fade away once achieved, but on the contrary, upon achieving it, the pleasure should increase.
In conclusion the desires must be in perfect balance with the environment. In addition to all the basic wants of sex, hunger, thirst, shelter, sleep, family, money, honor, power and knowledge, any additional desires and wants are unnecessary.
