Eh, what's the point...*shrugs*
The main point behind it for me was.
Is that the culture of the USA. To me seems.
To put all the blame and responsibility by every person themself. Because, you have the power to create and get anything you want.
And most importantly, it seems that this also creates an attitude of not accepting what is at the moment and what people have at this moment. And constantly living in the future, striving to achieve/get stuff/experiences and then being more happy/peacefull because of that.
The above to me, as an outsider. Seems to ba an big source for unhappiness/unpeacefull feeling.
The good thing about it, seems for me that it makes many people achieve (or try to achieve).
Where I come from, the attitude/society is somewhat more; accepting of what is at the moment. Being more in the moment, and accepting about and with what they have now. Not putting blame on the person so much, and taking circumstances in the equation as well. And also living less in the future.
Thefore I assume the society I live in, is overall a bit more peacefull (inside) and less unhappy compared to the people in the USA.
That said, passivity (where it leads to in quit some people) and risk averse behaviour. Does create some unhappiness in many people their lives where I live. Because they wonder about what could have been/happened, if they had tried something and weren't passive about it.
For myself. I like the mix. Of accepting and being thankfull of what I have right now; Yet putting in the effort to change things. The best way for me. My effort to change things, coming more from a place of wanting to try and wondering what things will be like, then from a position of that achieving it will do anything for my internal peacefullness/happyness.
And to be honest. Nothing I achieved have really made overall me more peacefull inside. "Only" temporary joy/contentment, is the best I have gotten out of achievements.
