I don't mean just seeing something nice and wanting to have something like that. Some people would not mind doing anything to take what belongs to another. Why do we have people like that?

Uncontentment I think is the reason why people posses to have what's not theirs. They feel envy or jealous with the achievements of others that's why they want to get it even in illegal way. Their enviness leads them to sin that sometimes they hurt others which is not good. We must be thankful for what we have.

It's just because of jealousy and greed. People tend not to be contented with what they have, no matter how much it appears to be.

People like them are greedy and aren't contented on what they have. They can't afford it so that the only thing they can't think of is to get it from others. They can't accept that they are not with the same level of others.

Wanting what others have is not showing that to be greedy, it is depend on the purpose of a person. They are wanting what they don't have yet because they want some changes on their life. They wanted something new. It is not bad to desire what others unless you do bad things to that person for you to have that.

Because your neighbour´s grass is always greener than yours.
As long as one does not own smething, one sees only the positive things about something.

Well, taking something from someone is one of the easiest ways to acquire said something.
It's a predatory world, get over it. Some people are just born predators.

It is mainly because there are people that is born with greediness. Selfish people can't accept on the state they are living and jealous of other people, of what they are and what they have. They have no choice but to take what belongs to others since they can't have it on their own. They should learn how to be content and find other ways to be happy.

People desire what's not theirs because of envy on Happiness other's feel by having it. We can wish/desire to have like what other's had but we shouldn't have whats theirs.

desire is such a strong word, maybe people just want or wish to have the same so as to know what it would feel like what other people have. im not envious by nature but sometimes i too am curious as to what it would be like if i have what other people do. what would i be doing differently if i were in somebody else's shoe.  Wink

God never wrong choice. God knows who is entitled and who has no right. Our task, is to be grateful for what we have now. So many of God's blessings to us, but we do not seem to know it. sometimes we are given health, but forgot to give thanks. God gives us the opportunity to breathe, but sometimes we forget it too, do not even want to give it a blessing .

I do sometimes observe this. If i see something i like but it is not owned by someone, its ok. But their are times that when someone is utilizing that same thing i want in different way, something is off and i want to use it on my own ways. Others may feel jealousy especially when the desire is a human being.

On a very basic level it has to do with our biology. Mechanisms that drive any animals (humans included) towards things that make them more likely to survive, and away from things which are dangerous, would have been selected for by evolution. Often, things that are worthwhile having are already owned by others, but that makes no difference to the innate desire to strive towards a salient or important stimulus such as an attractive partner or a nice shelter (house). It's a sad evolutionary hangover, but the bright side is that once we acknowledge this fact, we can design our environment in such a way as to help reduce such desires. For example, I used to desire cigarettes a lot but when I quit I made sure not to have them around and to let my friends know not to give me any &c. Similarly, if everyone in society has enough, and if we take the time to reflect and be grateful for what we have and also to help others, there is less chance for covetousness and untoward desires to arise or to be acted upon.

Human obviously want things, shelter, entertainment etc.. What you're asking why would somebody takes those things away from another, just because they wanted for themselves. The answer is that they are extremely selfish. Were born that way.
it seems that the case isn't only in selfishness, but also in morality...because taking away from another person what doesn't belong to you is immoral...it's another matter - to work out and buy this... this is not forbidden

Pretty sure it is caused by jealousy, and it is pretty evident in today's society. Sometimes, instead of working for it, jealous people just desire what's not theirs. This also leads to a rise in crimes I guess.

Well it's the nature of human. All of us have different wants.  And if we already have that thing usually we don't even be contented to it. We usually want those things that is not in our hands. Something that we wanted because it's not ours.
