Unhappy

 Why do many people suffer even though they have everything they are supposed to want?
Maybe it's because they fail to create.
All contented people create.
Whether it's through business, or art, by developing better skills at ones job, or even through facilitating in the progress and stability of ones family - all creative people find happiness through being creative, through solving problems, by becoming better at that which is most important to them.

But actors don't often find such happiness.
Why?
Because most of their lives are spent pretending to be someone they are not.
And most people are just actors.

Why do so many people go broke trying to keep up with the Joneses?
Because they have no idea what it is that they actually like or desire.
Most people have become conditioned to think that everyone should be the same.
That everyone should want and possess the same goods.
That bigger and newer is always better.

Even many people with enough money suffer from this fate.
Many follow the latest trends, try to impress their friends, move into a new home in a new area, or seek that which they do not actually want.
Many can have anything but very few can have everything.
And this is okay - most people do not even really want to have everything.
Why are so many fools taught to abandon their happy ways in favor of lives spent chasing unsustainable dreams?
