There are too many people with great lives on paper who are still miserable at the end of the day. Many who face immense adversity who are genuinely fulfilled. You can only be as happy as your mind is programmed to be. This means that although you may feel content at any given time, that satisfaction is illusory insofar as it can be taken away.
