The sourse of dissatisfaction
When I was at school they used to tell us that Romantic poets were characterized by constant lack of satisfaction. Always searching, asking, craving. The battle has always been more important than the victory. The road- always more pleasurable than the destination.
Is there satisfaction for a soul that wants to live a thousand lives? To be at thousand places at a time? To experience thousand loves, pains, triumphs, disappointments?
Is it a sin to want it all?
And if so - what is the punishment?

Not a sin, but there is a price to pay, which you can regard as a sort of punishment: eternal restlessness (or restlessness until you have fulfilled all your wishes)... Kind of being in a purgatory with a lot of anguish.
