    You ever play a video game where you turn on infinite items and health and it suddenly is super boring?

    That can happen with life. I bet that’s why so many billionaires are crazy.

      A lot of us are. It’s hard to invent your own purpose. Was probably easier when purpose was thrust upon you (grow or find food or you’ll die). I’m not saying life was better in the past. We live in fantastic times but it comes with different challenges. Finding purpose in life is a very real and difficult challenge.

    That’s what happens when your life is handed to you on a silver plate. Working, struggling a little, raising a family, taking care of a house and other stuff keeps you busy and gives you purpose. But it could just be mental illness in this case, we don’t know.

    Stuff doesn’t make us happy, people do. It’s always been like that. If we spend less time with people, in person, we will be less happy.
