DISAGREE
I do not agree with the idea that people are never satisfied with what they have because it is not true that there are many people who are satisfied with their lives.
There are many people who are satisfied with and always appreciate their lives in the world. Bangladesh is one of the poorest countries in the world and their nations are suffering from hunger. But according to the research which shows each country's nations how much they feel happy in their lives, surprisingly, poor Bangladesh people feel the happiest in living their lives. Even though they do not possess many material things, they can enjoy their lives better than any other countries' people.
In addition, being satisfied with people's own lives can be the first step to go toward next step. If people always long for what they do not have right now, not looking back what they have, they cannot know how much they are happy people if they just have normal fingers. arms and legs. There is a pianist who have just four fingers and short legs. In this situation, we are usually frustrated and are inclined to think their lives negatively. But that pianist was different. She did not give up pursing her dream, pianist, and practiced piano which is modified suitable for her to play. Finally, she even had a recital, achieving her dream. She can start her dream from not being collapsed but satisfied with herself in going to her dream.
In conclusion. I disagree with the idea that people are never satisfied with what they have because there are so many impressive and humane stories which people do their best on living their lives with being satisfied with what they have. And this attitude can make the world more beautiful with love and happiness.
AGREE
Some people seem to gratify with the situations they belong to and think there is nothing more to be needed. In my opinion, however, as the proverb says "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence" most people want what they do not have.
First of all, living in this material oriented society, we, human beings, seems to be exposed to a lot of factors which lure us to seek better or new things no matter whether we have already had them or not. For example, with the development of cutting edge technology, a great number of products with a high quality and good shape come into markets day in and day out. Moreover, advertising also encourage people to buy things, making products look better than they are and using tactics appealing customers. In this way, people end up purchasing things even they are not needed.
Furthermore, human beings are born with unbounded desire to possess. Mankind seem to never satisfy with things they have and eager to have what they do not have. These man's characteristics, to some extent, has a great influence on one's greed for possession, for instance, buying clothes or gems spontaneously for one's vanity or expanding territories. This attributes, however, can also play a important role in stimulating people to think and behave in a better way. For example, in order to achieve his or her goal, one would be devoted to their work and make a lot of effort. This has contributed to making our lives much better in line with the striking progress made in science and civilization. Hence, humans' instinct, never stop wanting or desiring for better things can function as a constructive driving force to make their life worthwhile.
To sum up, I strongly agree with the idea that people are incapable of being satisfied with what they have because there are a lot of factors that make people want to have things and human beings are born with desire to possess.
