this phenomenon is because we were raised in a society that seems to reward greed.  The more things you have supposedly the better off you are.  So it seems natural that this infused value begins to show through in our attitudes and emotions.  It's just been part of our life that material thigns will make us happy, although once we obtain whatever it is we eventually discover how hollow it turns out to be.  then it's on to the next thing that'll forever change our lives.  Then as we lust for all these material things, somebody's pockets are getting lined with our money.  The little secret they wouldnt' want you to know is that it's really up to an individual to choose to feel satisfied or not regarless of their situation. The old maxim: The ebst thigns in life are free...   now then again so are the worst, nobody ever paid for cancer.  for the sake of not ending on a sour note like that, it's up to the individual.

What you perceive as a needy persons "Automatic" need to need may not be so automatic after all. For example if you enter a room and a baby starts to cry,,,you may perceive that to be an automatic need,  to need to be fed. When in reality perhaps the baby has been hungry for quite some time, and cried out to have that need met to the next person who entered the room.UN fulfilled needs come from both childhood and environment. I don't believe people are bottomless pits of needs . most will know when they are satisfied. It is only when one cannot determine need from want that neurosis manifests.

Usually when you try to please everyone you are trying to "buy" affection and approval. You think that if you can make other people love you, you can feel good about yourself. You hope that if you do enough to please other people, they will do things for you that will make you feel happy. But in the end, you end up disappointed. Some people will take what you give but give nothing back. Some people may reciprocate, but they won't be able to fill your sense of emptiness. This is because real happiness cannot come from other people. You have to find it within yourself. Then you can do things for other people without consideration for what you may get back. When you try to make people love you, that is just manipulative behavior that ultimately turns others off. So stop trying to please other people and start working inside yourself to figure out what will make you a happier person. You are the best person to make yourself happy because you understand what you want better than anybody else does Take responsibility for your own happiness and then do for other people nice things that you want to do "just because" without any strings or expectations.

People are born to complain....we would complain if we were hung with a new rope....we would complain if we were on the Titanic and we had a seat on the a lifeboat....I think it is part of our being to complain....we are never happy with what we have and never happy with what we want....it is like we want to keep up with the "Jones" but never can....in the words of Mick Jagger "I can't get no satisfaction."

Life should not be a constant "happy" high!  \n\nHappiness is shallow - acquired by short-lived, unfulfillng experiences and material things or self-serving purposes.  It's fleeting,  that's why most Americans are constantly in pursuit of it!\n\nAnyone who says that they are always happy,  are oblivious to and/or unconcerned about the world and those immediately around them.  There are many things to be sad and concerned about - hunger, disease, poverty, war, domestic abuse, child neglect, etc.  Those who are constantly happy obviously turn their heads to those in need.\n\nJOY comes when we see that others' lives have been improved.  It also comes when have overcome an obstacle in life with God's help.  It takes God-given sadness and concern first to motivate us to do so.  Most Americans seek what makes them happy,  not what brings them deep joy.\n\nTo say that,  with God,  we should always be happy,  is ignorant.  God gave us sadness for good reasons.  Without it,  we would never miss those we love,  we would never feel for someone else's pain,  we would never feel deep joy to have truly loved someone - we would miss many,  deep life experiences.  We would never reach out to others with genuine love!

Never ever ever. Just think about it this way. Once you get to the other side there is still another side. You can only find happiness where you are within yourself instead of wishing you had something you dont. Once you get it there is always something else you will wish you had.\nLove yourself and what you have and appreciate what you have been given.

Cause they are humans, and humans are never satisfied with what they have, as in women, why do you think there are beauty salons for.

Probably because they feel like they have everything life has to offer and it is still not enough to make them happy. They have probably forgotten how to enjoy the simple things.

Do not underestimate the power of the human body. Equal to survival is the human need for reproduction. Quite strong. More-so than most average morale and logic. A person who disciplines their mind could overcome. But those who follow their bodily desire like kittens in a field, chasing each butterfly stimuli only to become distracted by the next create the dilemma you bring to our attention. It's not in everyone's life path to do such, for in my beliefs, no matter how unfortunate and saddening to human emotion, all things happen in a finely intricate web of cause and effect, all tying into the same destiny. The chaos that we see, is really misunderstood harmony of what lifes main destiny has in store for us. In a way we create it, but do to our circumstances, there could be no other way for it to be. Such a postulate being out of scope of human emotion, makes for an impossibility for one to feel the need of going throughout life feeling irresponsible for their actions. You're destined to choose but that choice was included in that main web of destiny. Choice and destiny being one and the same. Simply put, Learning to accept and not force our expectations onto others, could only make for the best of worlds, but due destiny has in store what due destiny has in store, which in a sense, is the greatest perfection.

People who support pornography are enslaved to lust and to money.  They can never make enough money.  They will use lust or any other human shortcoming to get people to pay them.  People who thrive on lust can never get enough of it to be satisfied.  Therefore their entire lives are ruled by the two notorious vices:  lust and money.  They are never satisfied and in the end, will destroy the lives of those who follow after them.

No, its not wrong.  There is no universal standard for happiness.  To each his own.
