"People are never satisfied with anything. If there is little, you need a lot. If there is a lot, you need more. If there is more, they want to be happy with a little, but are unable to make the effort. Do they really not understand how simple happiness is? What did the girl who ran somewhere in jeans and a white T-shirt want? What could have been so urgent that it didn't allow him to enjoy the beautiful sunshine, the blue sea, the children sitting in strollers, the palm trees on the beach?
