To these people, unhappiness was a condition, an intolerable state of affairs. If pills could help, pills were taken. But pills were not going to change the fundamental problem in the construction. Wanting what you canยดt have. Looking for self-worth in the mirror. Layering work on top of work and still wondering why you werenยดt satisfied - before working some more.

Mitch AlbomWeโre so wrapped up with egotistical things, career, family, having enough money, meeting the mortgage, getting a new car, fixing the radiator when it breaksโweโre involved in trillions of little acts just to keep going. So we donโt get into the habit of standing back and looking at our lives and saying, Is this all? Is this all I want? Is something missing?
