How can people be so unhappy with wath they have?

Question

like we you have money, you want more and that can take you to be so miserable with you and your family and the people around you...

Answer 1

If you don't want... there is no reason to get up in the morning. The problem is people want the wrong things.  

People use things to define success and self worth, and with that in mind there is good reasons for a lot of people to be unhappy and miserable. People expect too much out of life and are ultimately disappointed when they realize it is unreasonable to have dreams and expectations that they don't have the determination or ability to fulfill.

I think people are just caught up with material greed. And its very sad. I'm not the richest person by any means. but when I think of what I have (my friends, family) I feel like the luckiest person ever.  and those are the things that matters.

Answer 5

It's called materialism. People want more "things", bigger, better "things". Beyond keeping up with the Jone's.

Also, some people are happy with what they have accomplished, but then yearn for more.

It is best to be happy with what you have. Not try to be so materialistic.

I have heard of famous celebrities, like Dolly Parton, who grew up poor, but there was love in the family, so they grew up happy, with the love that was in their household.

Take care.
