Do they care about being fulfilled and just shut up about it? When I see other people like that it makes me feel very self-indulgent to be preoccupied with my happiness and yet at the same time if I live in a time when I can, why not? Hard to decide.

We're an upper middle class nation. We'll never be satisfied.
Its harder to grow up with some wealth than none at all. If you had a cushy life for a while, it sucks to realize you'll have to grind like a fucking dog to maintain it. If you never had shit, everything you get is gravy.
