It can be different reasons, for different people...

Greed, for many...never having enough....always wanting more...

Maybe they grew up, having nothing, then, when they are making their own living, they can finally buy the things they always wanted....

There are also the ones, that are never satisfied with their partners....who think the grass is always greener on the other side....the reasons for this, can be pathological, or they can have issues from childhood....just so many possibilities, it would be difficult to name them all.

midlifemadness	Posted Sep 1st, 2009 at 11:53AM cuz we live in a world that says we need to have more... we need this or that to be happy.... Also, I think those who are not content with what they have are sometimes unhappy in their lives so they are constantly looking for something to fill their void. Rated: +1Vote for this!

idolno1	Posted Sep 1st, 2009 at 12:01PM That would be greed. Why would someone need 30 cars or two or more houses with 15 rooms? I don't understand this way of thinking when there are kids sniffing glue to take them from their personal hell cause they have no food to eat. Pure evil at it's finest! Rated: +1Vote for this!
trinabinkley	Posted Sep 1st, 2009 at 12:20PM people are content in self needs but not spiritual so that ways heavier, but we dont see the spiritual so think we need more stuff. i recommend that when you dont think you have enough go to skid row and see the lost there. or go to a third world counrty that know christ and see there joy that they and look at how they have nothing but Him, and then ask yourself why? and God will show you where your contentment should be.
