▶ Your Answer: Some people think that people could have satisfaction from their possessions.
To put it more concretely, they are free from the greed inside of themselves so
that they do not suffer from the stress of possessions. However, in my
perspective, I firmly assert that people could not be satisfied with by their
own possessions ever at all for the following two reasons.
First of all, people always compare themselves with others. To be specific,
from the primitive era, original human being has developed by the competition
with other species, especially among human species. They developed the new
technology about the hunting apparatus and agricultural implements in order to
pursuit the happiness. However, this type of competition brings about the
dissatisfaction since human being always wants to be the best in one’s field.
In my case, I was so depressed when I compare my current situation with friends
who have everything from even their birth. As this example illustrates, people
would never be satisfied with their current possessions.
On top of that, great invention is also other factor of people’s
dissatisfaction. When you date back to the history, there are so many
inventions that changed human’s life. Even if it always doesn’t work positive
way, it is often groundbreaking for me to be able to use modern computer. Compared
to the past computer, this one is really light, fast, and comfortable in every aspect.
And I felt the jealousy towards someone who has computer which is better off
than mine, desiring to update my computer. As a result, my satisfaction would
be gone when I face the new invention. Thus, I could insist that satisfaction
from what we have would never be possible from my perspective.
To conclude, people would never be satisfied with
what they have because people never be free from constant competition and the
great invention. |
