Why do people always want what they can't have?

Because it gives them something to wish and hope for.  They are still happy with their iPod (for example) but yearn for that video iPod you know?

You can't.\n\nYou only accept what is appropriate for you when it comes. Sometimes what/who you want is not what you need.

because if you're not enough without it, you'll never be enough with it.  It's just like people with money, the more they have, the more they want...

Because people always desire more.  It's just human nature.

Envy, and simple because most people evaluate their personal value based on material possession. \n\nWe need to get our priorities right!

that is a very good question....I guess I would have to say cause some people are never satisfied with anything or just aren't happy unless they have something to complain about on a daily basis to make them happy...or that they wont be happy until people around them are miserable just like they are

It's because they know they can't have you, most people want things more when they know they can't have them

Why can't you get your own?

Generally people can’t get satisfied with what they got...\nSo they feel what has gone was better than the present

They cannot be contented. They always want more

This is easy. Only when you have expectations, can you be disappointed.  And when you have something to lose, property, reputation, friends, job, then you can be controlled by the fear of maybe losing that.  When you have little or nothing, then you have nothing to lose so you really do not care.  Either we as people are mostly self-centered (nothing to lose) or we think of others (care, kind, concern).  Thankfully, most of us are genuinely good and want to make the world a better place, so we want to do what we can to make it better.

Most people wants things that are hard to get.  It is a challenge for them.  It makes them feel more attractive and wanted than your current beau.

It's human nature to want what we can't have & reject what is readily available...may go back to our hunting instincts & our "conquest" nature.  To conquer is  to overtake that which isn't readily available & usually it turns out to be completely unavailable....we never learn.  ho-hum.
