These days, a great deal of people enjoy browsing web sites for shopping of their new clothes, new cellphone, new car and so forth. Although some people seek their new objects because they do not have those stuffs, others search the new thing to get better one than they already have now. I insist that the reason people find the new one is derived by ceaseless desire. People are hardly satisfied with what they have. Here are two examples.
First of foremost, people always have manifold needs in their entire lives. They make goals step by step to meet their desire and for better convenient lives. For example, when I was an undergraduate student, I bought a new iPhone by gathering my allowance and earning the money from part-time jobs. For the first few days, the very fact that I had the up-to-date new phone made me happy. However, reading e-books in my free time and taking the notes in my classes were very uncomfortable with my small phone. Hence, I set a new goal of buying a new iPad. For two months, I saved a lot of money and finally I got the new iPad which had bigger size than my phone. However, this time, the difficult thins was the capacity of iPad, so I set again new goal to have mac laptop. To have these all things, it took a half year because I was not satisfied with I already had. I endeavored time and money to meet my various goals and both the process and the results give me full contentment as well as more convenient life.
Second, the phenomenon that people always want something more can be supported by a psychological theory: Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. To introduce briefly, it says that people look for a number of desire unconsciously all the time. According to Maslow, people crave the most basic desire such as eating, wearing, and living that is indispensable for living our lives. After meeting most of essential needs, people put a lot of effort to procure the next level of needs such as being loved and belonging to some groups in society. Like this, there are five steps in his theory, people always pursue dissimilar objects by getting a sense of stability. In other words, people always want to have something more with insufficient satisfaction.
Gratification with what we have now make us happy and keep us from obtaining additional stress from our daily routine. In contrast, I still claim that we cannot help but stopping to look for more better items to fulfill our satisfaction. People are willing to seek well-suited products not only to live more comfortably but also to settle for stable feeling psychologically themselves. |
