The More You Get, The More You Want … The More You Want, The Less You Get

04.06.2008

May sound complicated or felt like silly game of words. It is actually a simple human nature. Look into yourself and others nearby, and you will find it inherent to almost every human being. It is about being greedy, it is about thirst for material belongings. Something you will not bring along when you die.

The More You Get, The More You Want

Look into a very simple analogy. A poor man who owns only a bicycle as his ride may want to have a motorbike. When he gets the bike he dreamed of before, he will be happy for a while, and start to want more. Another motorbike? No. He will want a car. Will he be happy when he gets a car? He will … for a while. Soon he will start to wonder how good it is to drive a fancy car … not just a car. See it? The more you get, the more you want (to get more).

The More You Want, The Less You Get

Unfortunately the opposite happens. Take another analogy. Someone who owns a bicycle and want a motorbike will be very pleased to get a motorbike. If he owns a car and wants a fancy car, will he be happy to get a motorbike? Right, very unlikely. When he wants a motorbike, getting a motorbike gives him a significant pleasure. When he wants a fancy car, getting a motorbike is a nightmare. It is about value. The value of things you get is less when you are wanting more.

Follow the cycle … and you will never feel happy and satisfied the whole lifetime. When you die, you will die in regret.
