(NN) Human Wanting

"Our desires are insatiable, for as soon as one is satisfied, another takes its place"

Sigmund Freud makes many statements, both true and untrue, when discussing humans and their feelings. This statement, as stated by Pojman, happens to be one of Freud's true ones. Humans are always wanting more in the search for happiness. We believe that once we have that "one more thing" we'll be happy and want no more, that's never true. Humans always want more; no matter how much we get there's always one more thing we want. We're all like the little kid who sees a bike in the store and says "Mom, can I have it? I need it Mom, I have to have it! If you buy my it I'll never ask for anything again, I promise!", sure enough that little kid will be asking for something new within a week. That's just our human nature, to want to live outside of our means and always want what we can't have.
