We as human beings are driven by the environment we exist in. Our opinions and thoughts are all reflections of our immediate society, and the feeling of dissatisfaction is what keeps us moving. It is also true that a dose of healthy discontentment is necessary to go on with our lives.

Do not trick yourself into thinking there is a tie there would no worries. Such a time does not exist even for those we look at as very rich.
