“The better things get, the more we perceive threats where there are none, and the more upset we become. And it is at the heart of the paradox of progress.”

“<...> If someone really could solve all your problems, they'd go out of business by next Tuesday (or get voted out of office next week). Leaders need their followers to be perpetually dissatisfied; it's good for the leadership business. If everything were perfect and great, there'd be no reason to follow anybody. No religion will ever make you feel blissful and peaceful all the time. No country will ever feel completely fair and safe. No political philosophy will solve everyone's problems all the time. True equality can never be achieved; someone somewhere will always be screwed over.”

“The pursuit of happiness is a toxic value that has long defined our culture.<...> Living well does not mean avoiding suffering; it means suffering for the right reasons.”

“<...> There is no reason to not love ourselves and one another. <...> There is no reason to not treat ourselves and our planet with respect. <...> There is no reason to not live every moment of our lives as though it were to be lived in eternal recurrence.”

“It's prosperity that causes crises in hope. It's having six hundred channels and nothing to watch. It's having fifteen matches on Tinder but no one good to date. It's having two thousand restaurants to choose from but feeling sick of all the same old food. Prosperity makes meaning more difficult. It makes pain more acute.”
