▶ Your Answer : It is often said that people are never satisfied with what they have, wanting something more or something different. However, in my opinion, this idea does not fully reflect the current situation.
To begin with, many people are now trying to make their lives simple. To be specific, the new movement of which main idea is to recover the humbleness and peace of mind by restricting desire has gotten popularity among people. The leader of the movement suggested that if people throw away their desire to have something more and are satisfied with their current place, people can get the peace of mind that makes people free and are even good for health. So a lot of people tired of consuming or wanting something more in the modern society are willing to take part in the movement, and they try to reduce their desire for consuming something more following the lessons from the movement.
In addition, charity activities become more popular than before. A study conducted by the government shows that the number of people who participate in charity activities regularly has increased 15% since 2010. Many people in charity activities share what they have such as money, time, and so on. This stream is because people realized that stability of society can be achieved by sharing something that they have with other people. I think this stream in the society is the strong evidence that people want to share what they have rather than to have more and more.
In conclusion, considering the fact that the new movement has gained a lot of support from people and the number of people who take part in charity activities is increasing, I believe that the idea that people are never satisfied with what they have is not adequate. In fact, now a days, people enjoy the sharing what they have with other people.
