the library book

"So in spite of health, wealth, and the chance to live better than ninety-nine percet of the world, the people in my imediate circle were miserable. And from the likes of the tragic stories we broadcast every day, we were hardly alone. Most everyone, it seemed, felt not only depriced in some way, but incredibly gypped about something.

We expected a perfect marriage. A bigger paycheck. A better body. A newer car. A nicer home. A second home. The smartest kids. The right college. Championship teams. Prosperity. And anything they sold at Best Buy.

Where was I going with this? Oh yes. Maybe the problem wasn't so much that we had such high expectations, because we were born hardwires to dream. it was that we all felt entitled to whatever was on our wish list.

Unfortunately, when we put our lives as collateral for happiness, there was often a small hitch. The harder we pushed, the farther we got from the finish line."
