01 Sep Everything is amazing and no one is happy

What an incredible time it is to be alive.

Without a doubt, we are the luckiest generation in the history of humanity… living in the safest, cleanest, wealthiest age to date.

We don’t have to focus single-mindedly, from dawn ‘til dusk, on where our next meal is going to come from, or how we’re going to survive this year’s winter, or how we could ever possibly complete the 3,000-mile trek from New York to California on foot.

We have almost zero life-threatening challenges to face on a day-to-day basis, and millions upon millions of life-enriching tools at our fingertips, most of which are accessible with only the click of a tiny (virtual) button.

Never have humans been so FREE to do what we want, when we want, how we want… and to do it at such lightning speed, with such miraculous efficacy.

So why aren’t more of us happy? Blissfully grateful, even?

Do we really understand how LUCKY we are? What would all the other generations of humanity have given to experience even a TINY fraction of the luxuries we take for granted everyday?

Yet, despite the countless miracles of our modern world, most people are dissatisfied, angry, and unfulfilled.

Clearly we don’t understand how charmed our lives are.

We are the luckiest people who have EVER been born… Do we really have a RIGHT to be unhappy?

Comedian Louis C.K. doesn’t think so, and this month we’re featuring a delightfully hilarious video clip from his interview with Conan O’Brien, that is sure to put a smile on your face and remind you just how lucky you truly are…
