Answer 1

I agree with you 100% is.

Whatever people think, they are NEVER going to be happy because they always want the oppisite of what they have and then once they have that, it's just not enough for them so they want everything else too.

Answer 2

Vain and selfish people will never get what they want, cause they want what others have ,,, The grass is greener on the other side until you get over the fence and see that it is the same or worst then where you were...  These type of people  don't learn and are seldom happy with their life,  They can never see the good in what they have because they are always trying to get better, even when they already have the best...        

Answer 3

Unfortunately it's the spirit of the world we live in. The world, with it's trends and commercialism and glamorizing something today and something else tomorrow through music vidoes and commercials and tv shows, and the showy displays of the rich and famous and the public figures jumping from relationship to to relationship, even cheating on spouses, it promotes what I believe is covetousness and a total lack of gratitude for what one already has. Not to mention the false hope that there is something better out there and you don't have to work on yourself to improve your situation. You just need to reject what you already have and you can have something better, not realizing that who you are and what you have are good. It's very sad, but unless people see things for what they are and start being grateful for who they are and what they already have, we will continue to see more and more of this behavior. And it will be to our detriment in a huge way. The best way to start to counter this is to practice gratitude for everything because a blessing can be found in every situation. The grass never greener. It may be different...
