Never Enough

We have all known people who can never get enough of anything. No matter how much you give them, it’s never enough. They always want more of everything. It doesn’t matter what it is, whether it’s material goods or everything of yourself, it’s never enough and they keep wanting more. For the most part, these people are selfish and inconsiderate.
