If you look at famous Hollywood celebrities and the wealthiest people in the world, how happy do they seem? Check out the tabloids the next time you’re at the supermarket.
Men and women alike have literally sacrificed their families to chase their dreams, only to find the dream has eluded their grasp, and they have lost their families as well.
Even if we were able to secure these things, what do we really gain? And at what cost?
Of course not. Even if we were able to buy all the toys and treasures that our hearts desired and attained all the fame and glory that we wanted, what would it matter after we took our last breath? None of this stuff gets to go with us when we die.
You can’t take any of your fame or fortune with you. Why don’t we feel more satisfied with life? Nothing under the sun can genuinely and fully satisfy us in the end.
