Why Do People Desire What's Not Theirs

[MenorDestruidor]

Original sin

[El Il-mythos]

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?

This is an attitude in the heart of a person, although it can be avoided but a person like this choose to act on that way because of being not feeling enough of having what he/she has and being jealous seeing others living with their great success. A people like this is always doesn't give peace in his/her heart.

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. And some people are  selfish, they only think about themselves to the point that they will do anything just to surpass someone

The scociety is unfair in many ways, so some people think it is ok for them to be unfair to others and take whats not theirs.

for me, it's because that's one example to motivate me and challenge me in life in order to achieve something you should have a desire what you do not have.

Such people just can't ensure themselves by what they want and they choose the simplest way - theft.

[AyaYotoko]

There is no limit for people desirableness. They usually desire what they don't have and they want to achieve that. It can be taken as good quality of human if he select right path to achieve his desirable goals which are fruitful for society also. In-fact if human-being will not have desirableness then there will be no motivation in his life. But as per law of equilibrium in nature he only gets what he deserve no what he desire.

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.

[ApocalypseNow]

Because we belong in a generation where everybody compare theirselves with each other. People post their luxurious life traveling in  any countries or the tech that many of their friends have. We desire them so we can fit with those people or be one of them.

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. The thought and the thrill of making that a possibility maybe drives them to do it. The satisfaction it gives them and the belongingness is a key they mostly wanna get.

Simply because, it wasn't theirs. Why would you desire something you already have or own? It is inevitable to desire things you don't own.

[UzumakiSakuragi]

Envy.. desiring to have something that does not belong to you because its pleasing in the eye and satisfied your cravings is human natures of sin! Be content life more important than any materials things.

[Mikolo11132]

Because it does not make sense to “want” something you already have.

[cryptogirl1980]

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.

Yea dont know this. just think many people out their dying for even rice which we are wasting everyday. learn to value your things

Maybe because we are not contented of what we have and what we can afford to have. People who see other people own things that they could not have would feel jealous and might be thinking to have these things someday. Maybe it wiuld also be a good thing because these people will want to work harder to earn more money for them to get what they wanted to have.

[joblessphew16]

its the general nature of humans to demand more and more parallali as they get more and more

[sharm2121]

Its because they cant have what other people have so that they will do everything to have what other people have. Jealousy is the word! because of jealous they will do everything, even killing people, even doing bad just to get want they want. How sad that other people are like that

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.
