I think it is human nature to never be satisfied. It is hard to fight the feeling that life sucks no matter how good you have it. The best I think you can hope for is to think about how much worse off you could be and appreciate what you have, if only for those fleeting moments. I have a great girlfriend who I love and am planning on starting a life with, a decent job that pays all the bills (even the extra ones like road runner and cell phones and my awesome car) and all of the things I just mentioned. But, I can't stop thinking things like, "damn I wish I had a better video card so I could play doom 3", or "god my tv is a piece of shit and I would really love this 50 inch sony trinitron" I am looking into. Things like that haunt me, I don't think I will ever be satisfied with what I have. The scary part is that I know this and there is nothing I can do about it, believe me I've tried. I've even tried to lead a bhudist lifestyle where I give up worldly posessions, but I just can't change the way I think.
