Los humanos somos un poco más ambiciosos que otros seres vivos. Por eso, nunca podemos conformarnos con poco. Las personas no se satisfacen con lo que reciben a diario, sino que sus necesidades aumentan constantemente. Se podría decir que es parte de la naturaleza humana. Si una persona no tiene casa propia y vive en una casa alquilada o en la de al lado, entonces necesita construir la suya. Y esta es, sin duda, una necesidad legítima, ya que es fundamental para toda persona tener una vivienda propia. Sin embargo, quienes ya tienen casa propia deben considerar la posibilidad de construir otra. Además, algunas personas sienten que su casa es demasiado pequeña y necesitan construir una casa mucho más grande y lujosa. Es decir, no pueden conformarse con poco. Para algunos, las casas tipo bungalow parecen demasiado pequeñas. Hay quienes, a pesar de tener dos o cuatro casas, sienten que no tienen una vivienda habitable adecuada. A pesar de poseer mucho terreno o propiedad, muchos sienten que su inversión inmobiliaria es insuficiente.
Si pudieran ganar bien, podrían satisfacer su necesidad de terreno y espacio. Hay quienes dedican toda su vida a buscar un terreno o construir una casa. Consideran cualquier alegría o momento agradable, incluso charlar con la familia, como algo innecesario y una pérdida de tiempo. Aun ganando mucho dinero, muchos necesitan más. No importa cuánto ganen, les parece poco y persiguen el dinero sin cesar. De esta manera, desperdician los mejores momentos de su vida para satisfacer su necesidad económica. Es como cuando quienes andan en bicicleta ven las bicicletas de otros y sienten la necesidad de tener una; quienes andan en bicicleta sienten la necesidad de un automóvil. Quienes tienen un buen auto sienten la necesidad de comprar uno aún más caro. La necesidad no tiene fin; cuanto más la incrementamos, más se incrementa.
Hay muchas chicas que compran ropa en grandes cantidades constantemente. Aunque para la gente común estos artículos parezcan innecesarios y excesivos, para estas personas son imprescindibles. Además, compran constantemente productos de belleza, joyas y maquillaje en exceso, sin llegar a consumirlos todos. Por otro lado, hay quienes se centran en la necesidad de comer. La comida es esencial para la supervivencia, por lo que no consideran necesario consumir alimentos de más. Sin comer una comida, ya piensan en la siguiente. Asimismo, hay quienes comen poco, pero desean tener mucha comida a la vista. Llenan la mesa con comida, pero solo comen un poco y el resto se desperdicia. Esta necesidad de satisfacer los deseos materiales también es muy perjudicial.
Debemos controlar constantemente la codicia y la lujuria. Debemos discernir entre lo necesario y lo superfluo. Debemos trabajar lo suficiente para sobrevivir y para disfrutar de nuestros pasatiempos e intereses. No debemos trabajar más de lo necesario, ya que el exceso de trabajo destruye la paz interior. Las personas no comprenden lo que es necesario y lo que no lo es. De hecho, nuestras necesidades son infinitas; cuanto más dinero ganamos, más pensamos que si ganamos más, podremos mejorar y necesitaremos ganar aún más. De esta manera, en nuestra adicción al dinero, anhelamos constantemente más de lo que necesitamos, algo que jamás deberíamos hacer. Como dice el refrán: "Nada en exceso es bueno". Todo exceso es perjudicial para nuestra vida. Por lo tanto, siempre debemos comprender nuestras necesidades y mantenernos alejados de cualquier demanda que exceda lo necesario.
We humans have a little more greed than other living beings. That is why we can never be happy or content with little. People are not satisfied with what they get every day, but they keep increasing their needs. It can be said that it is human nature that people's needs keep increasing. If a person does not have their own house and has to live in a rented house or in the next house, then those people need to build their own house. And this is certainly a right need, because it is very important for every person to have their own house. However, those who have their own house need to think and build another house. Again, some people feel that their house is too small and need to build a house quite big and divinely. That is, they cannot be satisfied with little at all. For some people, bungalow houses seem too small. There are some people who, despite having two or four houses, feel that they do not have a good habitable house. Despite having a lot of land or property, many people feel that their land deposit is very small.
If they could earn well, the need for some land and space could be met. There are some people who spend their entire lives just to fulfill their need for land or building a house. They consider any joy or good time in life or even sitting and gossiping with their family as unnecessary and a waste of time. Even after earning a lot of money, there are many people who need more money. No matter how much money these people earn, it seems very small to them and they keep running after money for the sake of money. In this way, these people waste the good times of their lives to fulfill their need for money. It is seen that people who ride bicycles see other people's bikes and feel the need for it, those who ride bikes feel the need for a four-wheeler, that is, a car. Those who drive a good car feel the need to buy a more expensive car. There is no end to the need, the more we increase our need, the more our need will also increase.
There are many girls who constantly shop in large quantities and buy clothes. Although these are unnecessary and excessive in the eyes of ordinary people, they are necessary things for these people. They also keep buying various beauty products, jewelry, and makeup products in excess of their needs. Which they may never be able to use up everything. Again, there are some people who see the need for food. People need food to survive, so it is not that they think it is necessary to take extra food. Without eating one meal, they think about the food of the next meal. Again, there are many who eat a small amount of food but they need a lot of food in front of them. They have to serve food by filling the table but they will eat a little of it and the rest will be completely wasted. This hunger for the eyes or the need for extra food for the eyes is also a very bad thing.
We should constantly restrain greed and lust. We should always understand what is necessary and what is not necessary. We should do as much as we need to survive and as much as we need to fulfill our hobbies and interests. We should not do any work more than necessary. Work more than necessary destroys the peace of our life. People themselves do not understand what is necessary and what is unnecessary for a person. In fact, our needs are endless, the more money we earn, the more we think that if we earn more, we can improve and we need to earn more money. In this way, in the addiction of money, we constantly crave more than our needs. Which we should never do. As the saying goes, 'Nothing in excess is good'. Every excess thing is harmful to our life. So we should always understand our needs and keep our distance from any demand in excess of the need.

So true. We always seem to want more, but learning to appreciate what we already have makes a big difference.
