The world is increasingly designed to depress us. Happiness isn't very good for the economy. If we were happy with what we had, why would we need more? How do you spell an anti-aging moisturizer? You make someone worry about aging. How do you get people to vote for a political party? You make them worry about imigration. How do you get them to buy insurance? By making them worry about everything. How do you get them to have plastic surgery? By highlighting their physical flaws. How do you get them to watch a TV show? By making them worry about missing out.
To be calm becomes a kind of revolutionary act. To be happy with your own non-upgraded existence.
To be comfortable with our messy, human selves, would not,
be good for business.
