Cultural gravity is to blame

You can blame bad luck or enemies for your dissatisfaction, but the real reason is cultural gravity.

Cultural gravity is the invisible force that sways you in the direction that society wants you to go. This default path is a socially approved narrative about how to live: Study hard, go to college, get a good job, save money, get married, have kids. Then, when you're old, relax and enjoy the utopia until you die.

Yet, this path, with all its promises, crushes your sense of well-being and dampens the joy of existence.
