    I think it's genetic in most people, and the reason why humans have progressed so much further than other animals---we always want more, are looking for something ever better. If we were easily satisfied we'd still be sitting in trees over-looking the African veldt and chewing on a mixture of leaves and bugs..

    Happiness is an inside job. Comes from inner to outer, not the other way around.

    I'm not sure why some people are like that, I am not. Perhaps they don't really know what they want in the first place.
