The human psyche has its pluses and minuses. The fact is, humans are never satisfied with what they have, they always want more.
This is good when it comes to driving progress. We’d never have gone to the moon if we were satisfied with just colonizing the earth.
At the same time, it’s the root of a lot of unhappiness. People have grand expectations for their life - and fall into depression if they never reach them, despite the fact their life is far richer than most people experience.
