The world is increasingly designed to depress us. Happiness isn’t very good for economy. If we were happy with what we had, why would we need more? How do you sale anti-ageing moisturiser? You make someone worry about aging. How do you get people to vote for a political party? You make them worry about their standard of living. 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 t 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 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.
