It's been happening since the Industrial Revolution started ~250 years ago.

Today's luxuries becomes tomorrow's bare necessities.

Each generation ends up having more than the previous one could dream of, and yet they keep wanting more.

This makes sense though -- I think it's somewhat natural for people to want growth/progress. I've found that working towards goals is one of the things that makes me the happiest and most fulfilled in life.

Yeah, I think it's mostly human nature.

Not only do we always want more, we also want more than other people.
