Never Satisfied?
 
In these generations we are beneficiaries of the blessing of plenty. We can obtain almost anything our heart desires and in abundance. (To cite one instance in the United States of America there are over two hundred types of breakfast cereals to choose from). Yet we often find our children to be unhappy and dissatisfied. Jealousy and competition are the norm instead of peace satisfaction and appreciation. Indeed our sages teach that the more one has the more one wants. So that the blessing of plenty be a blessing indeed we must help our children shift their focus from what they want to what they have. Sharing and expressing our personal joy with our lot will certainly be a significant factor in effecting this change in our children.
