Title: Why Do People Desire What's Not Theirs
Post by: Cyberczar on November 12, 2017, 09:16:21 AM
I don't mean just seeing something nice and wanting to have something like that. Some people would not mind doing anything to take what belongs to another. Why do we have people like that?

Mainly because of jealousy. They lack self contentment that is why they tend to desire things that they dont possess.

Why Do people desires what's not theirs? It simply because they don't have like that, just because they look like they are lower than them, or maybe just because they don't have a capability be like them.

Lack of self respected and self discipline mainly. At the end of the day it's human to want what others want and be jealous but acting on that in a malicious way is lack of a strong character.

Hmmmmm People are never contented. People that are not contented with what they have can always go to any extent to get what doesnt belong to them. They can steal, rub and even kill to have what they desire. May God help us from such people

Simply because they are not contented of what they have. They don't appreciate the things they have instead they keep on comparing themselves and their things to other people.. Likewise, they are not happy of what they have.

Envy and jealousy is part of human nature. People like to work less but have more. When we see people acquire more, that inner nature of man that want it first assume to take it by force and if is not checked we tend to use the end justify the means.

People who wants something that another person has should work for it. But if people go to the extent of killing others, stealing from them because of what they crave for, this is indeed greed and should be dealt with.

They desire what's not theirs for so many reason, maybe some of them do not have when they're young like in toys or some gadget, some wants others have because of curiosity- the feelings of having the same things as others,  while other desire it out of envy and jealousy they seems cannot accept that why others have it while they cannot.

I don't understand, do you mean those envious people? well, they are part of your life, accepting them or not, nothing will change, except if you would ignore them. They would only linger around you when you keep on leaning on them. If they are claiming your accomplishments in front of your boss( if you are in the office or work ) then that's a different story.

They don't deserve your time, or maybe they have a lot of time that they still have time to think about you and on your progress.

Very true. Humans, by nature, are a species of no contentment. We strive to be better, better than what they were before and better than others around them. When faced with something where in they're lacking we strive to have them. Now if we fail to have them legally, we try our best to have them vicariously through other, or just downright steal them.

That's not 100% true. Animals aren't greedy they are selfish. They are thinking about satisfying their basic needs in order to survive, so if there's food and it belongs to someone else they will do what they can to take some of it and feed themselves. It's their basic instinct.
Greed and jealousy is different. It goes beyond basic survival. People can be rich and still keep stealing from others only to have more and more.

I think it stems from insecurity. Insecure off their own live they need to fill the void with something from somebody elses. Also jealousy is a factor but I think the insecurity issue is much bigger at play here.

People desires most of the things that they're not theirs because they are jealous , they want things also for them , that others has. People will not contended as long as they feel jealous to others. What other people have , money , cars , houses , this things make people jealous to desire they must have this things also , and sometimes this feeling will eventually turn into something bad , .

It is because of the lack of contentment. That is why, people buy things they dont need, to impress the people that they dont like.  Contentment is key to a happy life.

We all have a little bit of jealousy in ourselves. It is residing deep within us and in some moment it reveals itself in an unwanted form that marks as negatives. There will always be some people that have more and the ones that have less. Some people with the poorer financial situation will always be jealous of others. That can be also shown always in nonmaterial things that cover everything. We all want something else that we don't have but our morale and mind must be strong to prevail this thing and to have the strong confidence and self-respect!

This is due to the mindset of the person wanting that thing. If the person wanted to have a thing He/She doesn't have specially if it is really hard to get due to its value, He/She would want to get it or steal it without all the fuss in working and earning it from your own. It is really sad how people get really desperate on something and out of this desperation, bad deeds occur.

people desire all things. people wants all things. they do not want something that others have because if they see something we want to have it and the other factor is envy, they want better than they have. if they see that what they have is not enough, we desire better. that is why people minding what is belongs to other.

People never get satisfied and contented from what they have, they always long for what others have. They appreciate those things which are owned by others because they focus on others rather than focusing on their own things, which is a sad dilemma of modern age. Such people sometime suffer from inferiority complex.

Unfortunately humans are unsatisfied beings. As you said, they want many things which they don't have. I think it is related with social, cultural and economical life that we live in. Community do it to us. If you think about a person who has a car, you should also see him while looking at latest ones. You can imagine many as this situation.

Because we are that kind of species that contains a bit of greed and discontentment of what we have. We can never be satisfied of what we have. Also because of a life thats is so null you tend to make it thrilling so you desire what is not yours this also the main cause of cheating in a relationship.

Because we have the ability to do so. That is plain and simpe. We have the ability to do what we want but we can only assume that there has consequences for it.

It simply because of jealousy to other people. They desires things that was not theirs because they are being jealous , they also want something like those things who other persons have. This kind of situation may cause some crimes like killing people , and because jealousy is the feeling a person cannot control , they will think of something to take that things to other people. And eventually they will come up with the killing.

I think that all people are born to naturally feel discontentment. It can be a positive thing for others, and there is no harm in aiming for a better life. However, discontentment can easily turn into greed if one is not careful. Discontentment should always be constructive and one should never let jealousy or greed get the better of them.

It may be something that they don't have the capability to attain on their own. Or being too greedy to want for more than what they have. Or peopleay have achieved what they want first before these people have any chance of doing so themselves. It's ok to make this a motivation to work harder for what you want but it should not be at the expense of other people

It all boils down to envy, not being contented of what we have and lack of gratitude. Because if we know how to be grateful of what we have and appreciate what we have in front of us then we will not desire whats not ours. Its really important to learn how to control our desires.

I believe it's actually because of greed, there are some who want what others have, not because they don't have it but because they are greedy and want more of it.
It may also be causef by jealousy, low self-esteem and not being contented with what one have.

As adults we sometimes casually take a box of Kleenex from a hotel room, and some might even purloin a towel or a bathrobe, thinking most probably: I’m paying enough for this hotel room. They could give me a few extra Kleenex for the price.

And, of course, people faced by huge hardships are sometimes forced to steal when hungry to save their lives, or when their children are in dire need in wartime or other times and places of dire poverty.

We sometimes casually steal something from a hotel room (towel,Kleenex,soap,bathrobe  etc), most probably we are thinking that we are paying enough money for the hotel. A bit of something could give us a few extra bucks.I think it is in human nature to want something that is not ours. As a result, people steal to get what they need. And of course, when a man struggle in life, he will be forced to steal when hungry to save his life, or when someone in his family are in dire need of money they will steal. When evil is turned into good in the mind that is when a man steals for a living.

The saying "The grass is always greener on the other side" comes to mind. I think a lot of people believe if they have what other people do that they'll be happier or more fulfilled in life. Whether thats actually true is a completely different story. Many people aren't comfortable or content with themselves or their life. Society doesn't help with that much either with what is portrayed as successful or what is important. I hope more people can realize the things that truly matter in life instead of living for material things.

Envy and jealousy is part of human nature. People like to work less but have more. When we see people acquire more, that inner nature of man that want it first assume to take it by force and if is not checked we tend to use the end justify the means.

Absolutely, agreed with you. Human beings are born with these dreadful and harmful feelings '' envy and jealousy'' . That's why , People always want tı have more. This desire is bringing their end because ambitions for having more stuff is very dangerous for humans.

Pretty sure it is caused by jealousy, and it is pretty evident in today's society. Sometimes, instead of working for it, jealous people just desire what's not theirs. This also leads to a rise in crimes I guess.

On a very basic level it has to do with our biology. Mechanisms that drive any animals (humans included) towards things that make them more likely to survive, and away from things which are dangerous, would have been selected for by evolution. Often, things that are worthwhile having are already owned by others, but that makes no difference to the innate desire to strive towards a salient or important stimulus such as an attractive partner or a nice shelter (house). It's a sad evolutionary hangover, but the bright side is that once we acknowledge this fact, we can design our environment in such a way as to help reduce such desires. For example, I used to desire cigarettes a lot but when I quit I made sure not to have them around and to let my friends know not to give me any &c. Similarly, if everyone in society has enough, and if we take the time to reflect and be grateful for what we have and also to help others, there is less chance for covetousness and untoward desires to arise or to be acted upon.

But their are times that when someone is utilizing that same thing i want in different way, something is off and i want to use it on my own ways.

It is mainly because there are people that is born with greediness. Selfish people can't accept on the state they are living and jealous of other people, of what they are and what they have. They have no choice but to take what belongs to others since they can't have it on their own. They should learn how to be content and find other ways to be happy.

Wanting what others have is not showing that to be greedy, it is depend on the purpose of a person. They are wanting what they don't have yet because they want some changes on their life. They wanted something new. It is not bad to desire what others unless you do bad things to that person for you to have that.

Uncontentment I think is the reason why people posses to have what's not theirs. They feel envy or jealous with the achievements of others that's why they want to get it even in illegal way. Their enviness leads them to sin that sometimes they hurt others which is not good. We must be thankful for what we have.

I think that it is a natural characteristic of a lot of humans to desire something that they see nice and something that they dont have.

Because they are being taught in the schools to act like that. The ideology being taught since some time ago everywhere puts people against people and the favorite one is Rich versus Poors. People are being taught to hate those who have more money and success than them, it's being incentived by educational sectors, media, political parties and religions. It's a very known strategy: Divide and Conquer.

We live a total reversal of values. Schools don't teach order, discipline and is partial about the subjects; politics don't give positive examples, don't incentive honor, meritocracy, justice; religions alienate the men from the real spiritual values of the universe. So it's not strange people are desiring what isn't theirs, as seems everything nowadays work the opposite it should be.

Desire is one of the feature human beings have in them. It develops when people are not comfortable with their life. Every people find that comfort zone where you can be treated as a king so when they do not get the treatment they will go and try to make a situation according to them and this will lead to change in his behavior, so that's how people be jealous and starting to do stupid stuff. It's just the lack of time they are given to make decisions and in the end, it's too late when they understand their mistakes.

I think it’s because we never get contented on what we have, and because we always want to surpass someone, we don’t want to feel belittled. Sometimes we get envious because we think that it can make us happy if we obtain that thing that the other person have.

Theoritically we Christians believe it originated from Lucifer the fallen angel which is the ruler of this world. He was not contented being a worshipper and an angel of God in the beggining but he also desired the power and worship which belong to God. Until one day he rebelled against God and desired to be worshipped too and be hailed as God. I think this mentally has been planted in every man’s heart and it only depends on man if he is going to give this mentality a rule over his life.

I believe it's because of discontentment and jealousy on a personal level. At times we tend
to compare our lives, achievements and possessions with others, it's a human flaw. It saddening
sometimes because we can't help it, we make up reasons or even blame ourselves and others even
but the truth is it make us feel sad. People should just be thankful and mindful of the blessings they
have and if they want something, just work hard for it and take in that need as a positive drive in life.

Being jealous of someone's possession is a trait of man. But the desire to get that possession even if it is not theirs is a sin.

A lot has to do with how people are brought up. If a child only gets what he/she wants, or are told that the world owns him/her, off course that person will always want to have whatever they see. Usually they will also try to fill a void with stuff. This is off course different from ambition where a person is prepared to work for what he wants.

Some people want but not theirs because it makes them feel envy. The fact that having that thing that others have makes them feel secure and fulfill the feeling of having it. Insecurity and lack of self confidence are the reason why they get jealous and desire to have it. They don't feel satisfy if they don't have it.they will do their very hard to get that desire.

Our mind always wanted new things, it will always want to expand and is easily bored that's why we must have the control over our mind or our mind will control us.

We desire things that we dont have , and if we have these things in our hands already, we want more. That is because it is our nature not to be contented and satisfied. Humans can never achieve satisfaction because we want more and more.
that is human nature that is never satisfied with what it has. if we can not control our greedy nature. this will be dangerous for our life in the future. if we can not hold back our ego until whenever we will never be satisfied in our life, because this is the nature of all people who always want more when he already has it all.

I can only judge from the side... For example, I have this acquaintance of mine who is an orphan. As an orphan, he got the financial help from the state and got used to buying anything he wanted. Now, when he is of the full legal age, he has to work to get this money and everything he wants... Money doesn't fall from the sky anymore, but he still wants to get many things in the easy way. I'm sorry to say this, but he became a robber. He steals money and gadgets from other people, as he says, just because he wants to live luxuriously  :-[

Because covetousness has been born together with humanity. Anything that is forbidden and not theirs is good for them. I dont know, it somehow causes so much interests on a person who desire’s side. I think envy in the main reason, am not sure but it all starts with envy that your neighbor is hAving something that you dont have so you also want the same, and the ultimate action to take is to take it from them.

I think those people were taken by their own jealousy. They somehow at any point believed that they supposed to have those things, that they deserved to have it than to those who have it. They were also taken by their insecurities. They always see what they don't have rather celebrate how blessed they are on what they have. We should not have that attitude. I must confess that I already experienced it but believe me, it only effects me negatively. So I tried to remove it and happily I now live without insecurities and with contentment.

Because some people are greedy thats why they desire what others have. Envy and jealousy also are the one factor, they feel that they are not so blessed to have those things that they think that they deserve it. Thats why others do bad thing and force to do to have those things.
I would say that all people are greedy, not just some. Just think about yourself. Have you ever felt that you wanted to have something that another person has and you don't? Doesn't it feel unfair if your friend bought a new big house or car or etc and you can't afford it?  I think that every person had this feeling in his life at least once (but mostly even more). So we all have this jealousy inside us. As I see it, the only way to fight it is to start with ourselves. Just try to remember that every person has his own life and that we are all blessed in one way or another :) You just have to look at your life from the positive side and I am sure you will find those "good things"  :)

Your examples are all about choices between alternatives that have different advantages and disadvantages. If you live in the city, there are a lot of things to do, better infrastructure, but no quiet and clean air. In the village, things are reversed. Obviously people want both: quiet, when they feel like quiet, action, when they want action, clean air all the time, and good infrastructure. The underlying cause is that people want both alternatives at the same time. Your question needs examples where alternatives are not the reverse of each other and not balanced regarding (dis)advantages.

The reason for desire or want or liking is Pleasure. Various people have various things to get pleasure: from Money, from Power, from Love etc. etc. But this pleasure is always based on comparison. For ex: I may have money, power, wealth and love. I am satisfied with all these. When I encounter another person who has all these things but with another proportion, then I tend to "HAVE/POSSESS" that. The reason could be, "THAT" appears more pleasurable to me than what I have.

I think this will only happen if someone has something that is impossible for others to achieve. Envy can have many forms and its natural for humans to want something but not in a way that we will take something from others. Only God can explain why we still have those type of people. Maybe they create balance to our world. Evil people will always exist. We should try our best not to be one of them.

We live in a world where greed has become the order of the day, certain group of people think that every good and perfect gift should be theirs. They don't see why God should bless others better than them and for that matter they will go extra mile to covet what is not theirs. 1 Kings 21:1 to 20 gave an account of how King Ahab wanted the vineyard of a man called Naboth for herbs garden despite all the lands he had as the custodian of the land of Isreal.

People are naturally looking for more. People are not contented and will never be contented onto what they have. They are constantly aiming for the better and they keep on wanting and desiring for more, including those of the possession of others. And I think that's the reason why people desire what's not theirs. Moreover, people desire those things that of others because of their insecurity and envy. I think that people desire things what's not theirs not because they want it but because they want to have that thing. They do not want that 'thing' because what yhey love is the idea of having that thing. The satisfaction it gives knowing that they have it and others don't.

All people has that characteristic inside their heart, we all tend to covet things not our own, it's from our heart that's the root of all covetousness, envy, jealousy, discontent, clamor, etc. However everybody vary significantly in terms of self control or maturity, some has greater strength at controlling their passions to look outwardly good while others less to no control at all. Even then, controlled or not sin is in the very core of man, and that separates him from his God. Nothing within himself can cure it, it must come from without himself, from some One else (Jesus Christ).

We do have not only a people like that but a humanity like that. Although I don't want to think of it, we cannot avoid but accept that humans are greedy. The worse thing here is that we are not only greedy on a neutral note, meaning we do not only desire what is there to be achieved for our fulfillment. Our greediness goes as far as desiring that which is already owned by someone else. This is already second nature to us and we need to break away from it.

But once it turns inward and looks at itself, it understands its nature. This comes out of intelligence. Then it gradually seeks inner calmness rather external cravings. Resting in inner peace and calm is more happier and blissful to Mind. But it is under illusion that it finds pleasure in things in the external world. The reason being mind, as put by Hindu/Buddhist philosophers, identifies itself with the body and it thinks it has a separate individuality - "I", "ME","MINE". When there is a separation like this, automatically there is a comparison. When comparison exists, desire sprouts. You better read about mind in Google. Lot of notes and articles are there.

the nature of desire with what others have is an unworthy trait we apply and have to ourselves but in reality this human nature is a normal trait because of jealousy and is never satisfied with what we have. and this trait can be inhibited by the nature of receiving and being proud of what we have by seeing those who do not have what we have
if we can not stem then we will definitely do things that are not good like stealing and scam

The human needs is insatiable iv seen wealthy men crave to have what a poor man has.Man by nature don't appreciate and value what they have,the comparison is always there, they always want to have what others own,simply because they never allowed the contentment side of them to develop into maturity,so covetousness sets in and pushes them to wanting all and everything. The habit of craving what is not yours starts from childhood, when you study children you can easily identify the ones with covetoeus  tendencies when a child whines with an intense desire and a strong urge to own the toys that belongs to other children despite having more than enough,that  is where the root begins to form.

We want the people we can’t have because no matter how incredible someone is in reality, they’re never as incredible as we can imagine them to be. We don’t imagine someone’s flaws. We don’t imagine their shortcomings. We don’t imagine the ways in which we just don’t jive with them – even when we want to so badly. And when we don’t get to be with the people we want, we end up living with an idealized version of them – one we enjoy fantasizing about more than we may actually enjoy being with them if we were given the actual chance.

This is a feature of human nature: when a person loses the limits of what is permissible, he begins to feel that the whole world is he, and therefore everything that belongs to others rightfully belongs to him. And in fact, he can justify in this way any of his actions - they say, it seems to you that impudence, but in fact a necessity.

When people are young, they want more money because it is a badge of honor to make more money (via salary, commissions or investments), have more money saved up, spend more money (conspicuous consumption) etc.  As people get older and they realize that one day they would be retired, they fret about how to accumulate enough savings to get through their retirement.  Working a minimum-wage job at the age of 80 to make ends meet scares just about everyone.  Also, people think that if they made a higher hourly wage, they would have to work less to achieve their financial goals.

True. Humans will always yearn for better things, and this often leads to greed. In a macro scale, look at all these countries trying to outsmart and outdo each other. They try to amass as much wealth as possible, they event try to take each other's the resources. The results are ugly. It's taken a toll on the environment and is also threatening our lives.

It is because envy is natural for us humans as a species, as well as in other animals. Although it is normal, we should not let envy get the better of ourselves. No matter how envious we are, it should not push us to actually take something away from others.

Just to avoid confusion, being envious is different from being jealous.Envy is wanting what others have, while jealousy is the fear or the feeling of not wanting others to take what is already yours.

I guess, as they say, the grass is always greener on the other side. It often feels like other people have it better than we do. Part of the reason for this is that we don't know what struggle they have. Some may use similar logic to justify stealing. They may think, "he's so wealthy and I'm so poor. I deserve this more than he does." This, of course, is horrible thinking. I can speak for myself in saying that there are certainly some things I want, but I would be much prefer earning them myself. I don't actually want to take anything from anybody else. I'm happy to buy them from the store.  ;)

Normally there are two huge factors that brings this. One is jealousy and the other is hatred in the heart. The reason why these things happens are, the one being jealous put themselves in your shoes and see how amazing that thing is working for you and start wishing if it could be theirs.

Roy Baumeister and Mark Leary (1995) argue that the need to belong is a fundamental human need to form and maintain at least a minimum amount of lasting, positive, and significant interpersonal relationships. Satisfying this need requires (a) frequent, positive interactions with the same individuals, and (b) engaging in these interactions within a framework of long-term, stable care and concern.
