Why do you think people always have a tendency to desiring things they can't have?

The grass is always greener... I think people are always looking for thta "thing" that will finally do the trick and they will be happy. We all know that logically, that there's no one answer somewhere inside.
Speaking of logic, I'll leave a quote from Mr. Spock that fits here I believe. He had just fought the Vulcan mating ritual and ceded his fiancee to a rival. He made this observation: "After a time, you may find that 'having' is not so pleasing a thing after all as 'wanting.' It is not logical, but it is often true."

In India we have a saying "Wah Pasand hi Kya, Jo Aukat se Bahar na ho!"

"Is It Really a Desire, if it's affordable by you!"

It means, That humans take anything that they wants, but those things that they cannot afford, turn into Desire, and that's the "Materialistic Realm" is all about

I honestly think sometimes it’s because we tend to romanticize the things we can’t have. We imagine how wonderful they’d be without really knowing if they’d actually make us happy.

Thank you 🩵🙂

I think that's spot on..
So often when you actually get whatever it is
." That's it? " , never as good as you expect , same goes for people you lust over..

[FreyaRed]

I don't think that way. People differ, there are people who stand with both feet on the ground others are wish thinkers. Similar behavior appears in desires.

People often desire what they don't have because they’re unhappy with what they already have…

[queenofcardio]

Perception, I guess. Someone wanting something you didn't want can change your view, so you think you're missing out

[Nikki1989]

The human mind has a remarkable ability to make the unavailable seem more valuable than the available.

You got that from Danny Dan, I’ll answer it because people desire what they can’t have. It’s also psychological it’s not that they really needed it. They just want it because they can’t have it

Because of free will… and as a man I think I will always notice females and admire their beauty when on their early adult years… rather than a very old wrinkly woman

The appeal of having them is often greater than the knowledge of keeping them.

[sage2021]

Not ALWAYS! Maybe sometimes.

Like they say "You want what you can't have".

[xawyx-3]

Well, it's not always, there are things I can't have, but I don't want them anyway.

[exitseven]

Not everyone is like that. Some people are happy with their lives.

Dopamine, is the astonishing answer.

[Paige2006]

It's a human desire
