After I read "The Girl Who Was Not Satisfied With Simple Things" more than twice. I found that I have different views from my first reading. At first, I think people should satisfy with simple things and things they have. So that, we can have happy life. This remind me of the phrase "be content with what you have". But, if we always satisfy with simple things, I don't think we will have aeroplanes today. We live on land, we can walk or run. So why we need to fly since we don't have wings too. If we are satisfied with simple things, we would not be able to enjoy the good things that we have today like concrete house, handphone, computer and etc.
We are human being. We definitely looking for better life. We want good house, nice car, beautiful spouse, good and cute children, better income...
In my opinion, to be satisfied with simple things is just a way to prevent anxiety. We may feel depress or jealous when we don't have such and such thing that our friends or relatives have. So, if you can't afford those luxury items, then it is better to be satisfied with simple things. As a result, I don't think people who are not satisfied with simple things are against the good moral value. It all depends on how a person end up with his demands. Success or fail.
