Re: What do you want/where do you want to live when you are retired?

i think that zeebo is trying to say that people try to reach for the stars, and even if they get there, often dont find themselves happy. People are driven by what society TELLS them should make them happy, but it ultimately leaves many dazed and confused.
fwiw, the most popular undergrad class at Harvard is something along the lines of "How to be happy."

I will agree with you when you say a lot of people reach a certain goal and feel "unhappy" after they have gotten there. That is because it was the wrong dream / goal to begin with.
Those people are approaching happiness and accomplishment the wrong way. Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
If you feel happy doing what you are doing, trying to do the impossible, trying to make your dreams happen, then who has the right to say you are not happy? Who has the right to say you are being silly? Who has the right to say you are dillusional?
No one but you.
