UNSATISFIED???

How can we be unsatisfied with what we have and what we are.  Take a look at the small example that I will be citing:
In a farmer's garden  there are lots of vegetables and flowers growing together.  Secret jealousy arises. The Potato plant thinks that its fruit is underground and wished to be like Tomato plant near by. The Tomato Plant is jealous of the  Flowers just next to it that it cannot bear different colored Tomatoes. The Flowers are about to kill itself because it could not climb up to the top of trees like the Bean Vines. Bean vine is  disheartened because it could not stand on its own like the  Chili Plant and so on …
Now the same thing applies to Us also. I am unsatisfied because Doji is more Smarter than me, Doji is unsatified because Tashi has more wealth, Tashi is unsatisfied  because karma got the more lucrative job, Karma is down as  Kinley  got  a beautiful Girl and so on..
Looking at this simple illustration what is the use of being unsatisfied? After all We are What we are. The Tomato Plant cannot be Flower, neither the Potato can bear fruit in air.. We are made to be what we are. So there is no question of Looking at others and taking them as the role model or as an idol. It is simply absurd to be taking others to be ourselves.
Like the contemporary Bhutanese try to be Koreans and you know what the shitty part is? The Koreans don’t know even that we exist on EARTH!!! What an insult!!
NIRVANA IN HELL can arise only if we are ourselves..

Thank you
