Satan is trying to convince Eve that at the moment she isn’t living life to the fullest. Basically he is telling her that if she eats of the tree she will have knowledge to make her life that much better. Eve who hasn’t yet experienced anything bad in her life would most likely have found having a more fulfilled life unlikely. However, because the snake is the one telling her this and he is actually speaking to her it seems “magical” and therefore one can see how Eve might have thought she could live a life more fulfilled if she eats of the tree.
