The poor pleasant lamented his life would be better if he is rich and has enough food to eat.
The rich man complained his life would be better if he was born a king and has the power to deal with his enemies.
The King sighed and wished his life would be better if he is carefree like the commonest man without the troubles from ruling the country.
The dead man neither complained nor wish for anything.
In life, everybody wish for something better and desire for more. There is nothing wrong with wanting better or more.
Perhaps what you don't want is something what others would want or wish for.
Learn to appreciate what you have while chasing for those you wish for. That way, you don't have to wait till you get it to be happy. Start being happy now.
