Why the most aren’t happy as what they are?

Why do most of the white people want to tan their skin to make darker?
Why do most of the black people want to bleach their skin to make lighter?

Oh Lord! No discrimination. No racism. No stereotyping. No generalizing.

Whether white skin or dark skin, I do not expect everybody to accept a 100% of what each individual have. But still why is it so?
Why the most aren’t happy as what they are?
Is it kind of human instinct?
Is it opposites attract that's one way we could explain it or people like something that are different from them. I don't think this applies to everyone but that's different ways to look at it. What you all think? Why the most aren’t happy as what they are?

cheers

of the human nature ... we are all imperfect and would always seek perfection. Sometimes it would take you somewhere else, you will end up falling into the traps of your soul ego or even worse ...

Try to be the best in what you believe and know that you are good at, but don't try to be someone else ...

That would take you from ambitious group to the dumb one.

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. (Gautama Buddha)

It’s a human nature, I mean we all know how it is and how it feels, everybody wants what they don’t have and no one is really happy of what they have. But don’t forget some people are worse than others, some people are more confident than others, some people are more happier than other, its just the ways it is

Catsniper, "forget that people really love them as they are" - very true. For those who don't, they are not worth the time and emotions spent. But the sad thing is that many people live for the approval of others. That's basically striving after the wind.

I am happy too for what I look like, because I ain't got the money to have liposuction and implants either. Lol!

Unsatisfied, i should say. A man tends to crave for more but once have it they want it MORE... and so the cycle restarts...

So seems like being unsatisfied with whatever they are, is a GOOD thing to happen, right?

Coz if they aren’t unsatisfied, then they will not have excitements and improvements whatever comes with efforts for some thing new.

so guys PLZ be unhappy and unsatisfied in your life.. :)

Change is acceptable to some extent.brings excitement and improvement, and sometimes the opposite.

enough is as good as a least.

Guys, our view points are most same. But you know, these are all important things which actually make life move with their likes and dislikes. Dos and don’ts. Things like this make life eventful. Keep the humans motivated and energized to achieve their goals. Try for some thing new every time. And yes, these goals are the changes in any aspects of their life everyone eagerly look for.

So, I think in wider perspective of life general character humans of being unsatisfied with what they are is more PLUS POINT than negative. :)

It's a money/class issue.

I know lots of Filipinos who try to keep light so everyone knows they don't 'work in the fields'.

In a similar vein whities like to tan to say "look at me, I can afford an expensive holiday". Thn there are the educated ones who say "Skin Cancer, no thanks"!

Did you Google it first?

Same reason for wify tells hubby about goodness of their neighbors without realizing how really good they are than others.

This is where we should realize we are all good as we are, but again if we think so,hold on.. am afraid people might become aestivated because of lack of desire for changes / developments.

I believe its just human instinct by nature which regards to every aspects of life cause majority are unsatisfied with what really they are but forget people really love them as they are. Its just human mind which also says other side grass is greener than here.

blame this all to glossy magazines advertising bodies, making the readers wish that they could achieve that kind of look.. (include me wishing and sighing..lol)

also, this is human nature.. you cannot be really contented..if you got contented you will feel bored.. :/

A billion dollars cosmetic and fashion industry makes people want to be different through advertising celebrities. If you take a closer look you will find that they are all 'photoshopped'.
