"نستهلك لكننا غير راضين"

Simplified Meaning:
People often buy or use more things than they really need, but even after getting those things, they still don't feel happy or fulfilled. Imagine someone who always buys the latest phone, new clothes, or fancy gadgets. Despite having all these new items, they may still feel like something is missing in their life. This is because material things can only provide temporary happiness. True satisfaction often comes from relationships, experiences, and personal achievements. To apply this idea, one could focus more on spending quality time with loved ones or pursuing hobbies and goals rather than just acquiring more stuff.
