#Insatiability

We humans have developed an insatiable appetite,
but we have no real sense of when enough is enough.
While we admire moderation and balance,
we also love extremes and exessiveness.
Finding and maintaining an acceptable level of anything remains a difficult task for us.Why is that?
We quickly adapt to amenities and any easing of our burdens,
so they soon become our new normal and we no longer notice them.
Instead, we focus on what is still ailing us,
for there is always something we want.
The smaller our actual woes are,
the more we seem to feel them,
and a spiral of entitlement ensues.
Because we expect too much,
we sometimes overlook even the biggest achievements.
This results in an excessive sense of entitlement:
The better off we are, the more we need in order to feel good.
