Many Americans express dissatisfaction with life, despite the fact that we have more of the world’s good things than any other country. The richest country in the world is inhabited by the highest percentage of depressed and unhappy people.

We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.  

All the things we think we absolutely must have in order to be happy are only indications that we are controlled from without rather than from within. It is an endless trap that we can never escape as long as we think that ownership of something is going to fill the void. When will we ever be satisfied with enough ‘stuff’? The Bible warns us that we will never be satisfied:

Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.

Proverbs 27:20 

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have:for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Hebrews 13:5
