Question: Do you think one life is enough for everthing we wanted!?
Can we able to achieve everything, if you say 'yes' can you give some clues!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I believe one life is more than enough to achieve what you want, the problem is that human nature always wants more!. When we achieve a goal we create another one to strive towards, so you are always wanting more and striving to accomplish more!. Its a neverending circle, but if we think of "everything we wanted" as in a way in which everything we want was a logically possible goal then yes, one life is enough!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Of course you cannot achieve everything you may desire in life!.
For instance, if you want to be the world's most powerful weightlifter -- at any given time, there are probably at least a million people who have that exact same desire, and at any given time there can only be one winner!.
You simply may not have what it takes!.

Taking this a step further -- if you happen to have some sort of heart condition, crooked back or whatever health problem, it's best for you to just forget about achieving that particular goal!.

There are a gazillion people with major health problems that feel they are screwed and are forced to set their criteria a whole lot lower than what they would really want!.
They want to do things, but their bodies just won't allow them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I had believed some skepticals somehow!. Who would deny the possibility of acquiring more than one lives in a human soul!. However, I also trust that my natural instinct would not let me feel wrong, that I won't be able to obtain everything I wanted or hope for in just this one life time of mine!. A mistake made could be carried on for a lifetime without really even learning from it yet! As we know, that one can't be just apeace with oneself dealing with an unfinished job!. Sometimes, I think we could not stop living even in a hundred of lifetime just to get our goals achieved and the real mission done here!.!.to complete us well!.

Thank you for the question!.!.Good day!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Everything we WANTED: No!. We are humans!. We can't be satisfied right away with something we can reach, we yearn for loads of things that take more than lifetime to achieve!. We are jsut don't want to achieve simple things that easy!.

Everything we NEED: Yes!. We have different needs, and this is based on how our lives are!. We are provided, or else we're not living at all!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm a product of western culture, hence i will always want what i can't have!. desires built upon each other and are never satiated!. so we will never be able to get everything we want!. we see depressed celebrities kill themselves!.

what we should want is a release from desire, which is the cause of most sufferingWww@QuestionHome@Com

With a quantitative approach,even 100 lives will fall short of what we really want and with a proper qualitative approach, even half a life would be more than enough to satisfy us!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. just an extension of the fact that one good movie is better than and perhaps even more than 100 trash ones!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

we humans are never satisfied with any thing!.!.even at death bed we will think wish i had got some grand thing big house lots of Friends to see me dying!.wish death ceremony will be grandly done!.wish i had made my son a doctor!.at least next birth i must be born rich this is just sample of human mind!.so we will expect more life times as not satisfiedWww@QuestionHome@Com

of course not!. we can never have everything we want, because what we want doesn't satisfy us!. life gives us what we need, not what we want, because what we want will never be enough!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes!. But what is their to achieve!? Because we leave this world with nothing!. The only thing anyone wants is to be happy!. And living is happiness!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

its not about how much we wanted !.it is actually about how much we learned --i guessWww@QuestionHome@Com

nothing is ever enough!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

In video terminology:

If you were a completionist, then no!. maybe six or seven lives!. But not just one!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Only if we knew what were capable of!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
