Will we ever be satisfied with what we have?

Life is not made up of what we possess!
  What is the human race’s incessant desire for more possessions? What is it that we still need to acquire to be truly satisfied? Has money and possessions ever been found to be the missing link between us and true happiness?

Don’t get me wrong, there isn’t anything morally wrong living a comfortable lifestyle and spoiling oneself, but somewhere one surely needs to draw the line between excessive and unnecessary spending to fill a void in one’s life in pursuit of happiness. How much stuff must be accrued in a lifetime to attain la dolce vita? Surely there are simpler things in life far more precious than the acquisition and accrual of possessions. The question begs to be answered, has the world in its madness to acquire stuff and the need to fill a void eclipsed the ability to appreciate the simple things in life?
