Some thoughts...

𝑯𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 ?
In the year 2123, exactly 100 years from now, we shall all be laid to rest beside our loved ones.
Our homes, which we have fought so hard to create, will be occupied by total strangers, and they will possess all we have right now. Everything we own, even the expensive car we didn't even buy yet, will eventually be scrapped and sold to a collector nobody has ever heard of.
Our offspring won't recognise us or remember us for very long. How many of us can name the father of our grandfather?
A few years after our deaths, our history, photographs, and acts will fade into history's oblivion, at which point we will be remembered only as a portrait on someone's bookshelf. There won't be any trace of us left.
Maybe if we took a day to reflect on these issues, we'd see how foolish and feeble the desire to have it all really is.
We would be different people with new perspectives and ways of thinking if only we could give this some serious thought.
The pursuit of more has left us with little time for the things that truly matter. I would give it all up if it meant getting to experience the walks I never took, the hugs I never gave, the kisses I never got to offer my kids and my other loved ones, and the jokes I never got to tell. Those would be the best times to reflect on, because they would bring us so much happiness.
And we squander it daily on avarice, success 𝒔𝒖𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔, 𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅𝒔 and 𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒅.
"𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝕎𝕆ℝ𝕃𝔻 𝕚𝕤 increasingly 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐝 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 sell an anti-ageing moisturiser? You make someone worry about ageing. How do you get people to vote for a political party? You make them worry about immigration. 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. How do you get them to buy a new smartphone? By making them feel like they are being left behind. 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."
