It seems to me that people are never satisfied with what they own due to many reasons. This is an endless question like “ What is the first? Egg or chicken?” People are never satisfied and three major evidences to this are that people complain, feel jealous and long for a better condition.

First, we can see that people are never satisfied because they complain about every thing all the time. When most people complain it is usually something like “I wish I did better on the test”, “I wish have that cloth” and so on. However, people exactly know that it is just like a dream that cannot be come true. If people are always satisfied with what they have, there is no desire existed.

Secondly, the point that people feel jealous is a proof that they are not satisfied with what they have. A good example of this can be seen very near by. As an instance, a girl in my class had a cell phone and was very proud of it until another girl bought the latest model. In addition, after seeing that model she started to complain about her cell phone and then change new model. As a result, there are around 35,000,000 using cell phones in Korea out of 50,000,000 population.

Lastly, people long for a better condition around the. They wish for the best house, best cloth, and the best education. A very good example of this situation can be seen in Korea. Many people now days move to Canada because one of their relative or friend has come here to educate their children even though children are very young. They who moved to Canada already say that the main reason is that they want their child to study in the best condition.

As in all, people are never satisfied with what they have because they complain, feel jealous, and long for something that they don’t have. Dissatisfaction, in my opinion is a great gift that god has have the humans. Because we developed due to dissatisfaction, imagine if we were happy with walking for days and days there would not be cars nowadays. Nevertheless, we must be able to control our feeling of dissatisfaction. Make sure that it does not spoil our life.
