it will never be enough. men, as in humankind, will never be satiated. you give them $100, next year they will say that it is not enough and ask for more. you give them $1,000 and next year they will come back again and say it is not enough. you give them $1,000,000 and one year later, used to the luxurious lifestyle, they will once again come back and say that it is not enough. how easy it is to get use to abundance, to more. can one claim the same flexibility to less?

such is the greed of mankind. pleasure and satisfaction are short-lived, the desire for more will always return, sometimes with a vengeance. perhaps that is the basis for development, for growth, but never being satisfied means never being happy.
