From the Art of Living in a Meaningless Existence:
Starting as children, we seemingly sprint through life, racing out of every moment, unsatisfied with what life is and constantly looking for what life could be if we could just obtain something more or different than what we have.
Our culture overwhelms us with the reinforcement of this idea, convincing us that our purpose is to achieve, buy, own, and live idealistically perfect lives.
This delusion, however, frenzies us with an anxiety that we are then told, by culture, that we can rid ourselves of, if we just achieve a few more things, make a little more money, and buy a little more stuff.
