I don't think it is human nature to want what you can't have. I think it's human nature to want things that we think will add to our enjoyment of life. I think it's possible to confuse what we think we want with what we really do want. We might think that our happiness is embodied in a particular person, in a particular job, or living in a particular place, so we may want it even if we know we cannot have it. The reality is, what we want is intimacy, personal achievement and quality of life, and we can all have those things.
