95. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People are never satisfied with what they have; they always want something more or something different. Use specific reasons to support your answer.

　　I think its probably true that people are never satisfied with what they have. They always want something more or something different from what is theirs. This just seems to be part of our human nature. Look at a toddler, Give her a toy to play with and she happyuntil she sees something else. Then she wants that other toy to play with. If she and her brother are each given a cookie, shell look to see whose cookie is bigger. Shell protest loudly if she thinks her brother is getting more.

　　The grass is always greener is an old expression, but its a good expression of how many of us feel. Were always striving for a better job, a nicer place to live, a fancier car, or more expensive clothes. Part of this reaching for more and better is because we care about what other people think and want to impress them. Part of it is trying to make ourselves feel successful. But there also something in our nature that tells us we can do better and reach higher.

　　This isnt always a negative quality. Theres another saying: A mans reach should excess his grasp. Or whats a heaven for? Its a good thing to be constantly pushing ourselves and looking for something different. If we dont try for more and different things, we begin to stagnate, like a pool that doesnt get any fresh water.

　　The problem comes when we wont let ourselves be satisfied with anything we have. If we have a comfortable life and still feel as if something s missing, then we need to look inward. The something thats missing may be in our spirit.
