In a very short time-span, we have forgotten to value and celebrate what makes life worth living. An excessive focus on immediate gratification undermines the very essence of a fulfilled life, as it neglects deeper connections and meaningful experiences. In modern societies, individuals are expected to take control of their lives, to align their desires with social norms and to constantly strive for self-fulfilment. As society becomes more diverse and less bound by traditional structures, individuals are faced with an ever-growing range of possibilities for self-determination. This surplus of choices can lead to feelings of uncertainty and anxiety as individuals face the task of defining their unique identity amidst a multitude of competing values and expectations. This constant quest for self-fulfilment often leads to feelings of fatigue as individuals constantly monitor their own progress and achievements and constantly compare themselves with others.
