We’ll be happy as long as we have the material person / thing / experience we’re looking for

Or, put another way… anyone who has the material person / thing / experience they are seeking will remain happy as long as they have it.

I don’t know if you’ve had this experience, but sometimes I have eventually been bored with a the gift or person I deeply wanted.

Yeah, me too.

I don’t think we’re alone… there are many successful people who had what they wanted but then it wasn’t enough… and they sought a greater material thrill, or a different lover, or whatever.

It’s comforting – sort of – to know we’re not alone. smile

Why do you think it is that we get bored with the things we thought would bring us lasting meaning / satisfaction?
