Scarcity is all around us whether we like it or not. The world is not a perfect place, and if it was, then there would be no point in living if we did not have something to strive for, or a goal to reach and compete against other people for it. Right now it may seem like we'd wish scarcity would go away but later after we would get everything we'd want and the same would happen to everyone else, then life would become boring. Scarcity kind of makes us who we are because of the things we have to do in order to try to get what we want. With scarcity, people have to make quick decisions and decide with the limited amount of resources and man power to try to achieve what they want. To achieve takes a bit of smarts, logic, and luck. People have to learn to live with the fact that there is scarcity on this planet and those that don’t will be in for a rude awakening.

Are you saying that if you had everything you ever wanted you'd be like "Wow this sucks, I'm going to commit suicide?". I think you'd be one of a few to say that. The only people that could enjoy scarcity, in my opinion, are those who have a lot of things, and therefore see themselves as better than others. I don't know about you, but I'd be quite happy having everything I ever wanted, and not ever having to work. Seems perfect to me.
