In this day and age you should be happy with what you have and keep on going. But at the same time it's human nature to want more but there needs to be limits to what you should and shouldn't have.

Be happy with what you have, and continue to do what you know is right and you will find yourself on another path. Be grateful for life. Use your resources and what you have for the glorification of Jesus Christ. And that is by taken caring of yourself and for others. And also know that God will take care of you and he knows what is best for you.

Side: yes

I think people should be happy with what they have, but then again it isn't a bad thing to always want more. "Don't worry, be happy"

Side: Yes and No

People should be happy with what they have realizing there are folks out there that don't even have half of what they have.

No, but within some reasonable boundaries. If you never want anything new, and you never want change, you will never attain progress. You will never try to change the world if you think it is already perfect, that's why I think you should seek out the flaws and inadequacies of life to try to change them, grow and learn. Now I think you should also look beyond yourself and look at the conditions of others to improve the world as a whole.

Why not want more? There's only reason to want more as long as it's not an obcessive idea.

I think it's okay to want more... it give people ambition. It can make them work harder to achieve more.

Side: No

Human activity is founded on the fact that people want something. People want to survive they they grow food. People want safety and levels of organization, so they make government. When they want a new kind of government, they overthrow the current one and build another one. People want material things, so they work to get the money for them. Our society is run off of what people want and what they are willing to do to get it. If people are happy with what they had, nothing would ever be progressed. Wanting isn't a bad thing, it's part of human nature.

Side: No
