Because sometimes some matters spoil us until we definitely become selfish to have more expectations!.
We aren't satisfied and our minds become narrower without even knowing how things if it will turn out reversed!.
Our expectations become higher, and when it doesn't meet our needs or even desires!. We tend to turn our back away from it and take it all for granted!. Until the better things we are used for all disappears!. Leaving us regretfully just to realize things over too late!.

Because we tend to take all the good things for granted at times!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

That's my very point, I am actually trying to understand this these days!. But I guess its like the saying goes, "a gold in your possession is a copper"
what makes us like this is our endless aspiration to get more and more in the world where everything is all about more but not based on saying enough, if we can't say enough to the spirit of more, then our demanding attitude will always haunt us!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I guess it keeps us holding on to what we now have thought was something special!. like the quote says "life is wasted on the living" were too busy to live our life to really find its meaning!. complete happiness could possibly never be achieved, only searched for!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
