In Search of the Permanent Search

The headline would go along these lines:

"99 percent of the youngsters between 25-35 are going through a crisis of extreme insatiability"

I am not sure if 99 percent of that group population suffers from that but that same percentage of my friends certainly do experience acute insatiability. Me included.

I think this permanent impossibility of feeling satiated or fulfilled stems from the fact that we have too many choices. The days are too short. The to-do lists are too long, the dreams too large. Mobility is not an issue anymore, we can work from here, from there or from both. Choices might seem something good at first but they can lead to many suboptimal decisions and specially to wasting valuable time that could be used for something satiating like doing sports, sharing time with friends or family, or volunteering. Instead too many choices mean too many minutes evaluating the pros and cons of x versus y versus z.

The four hour week blog is written by a guy who is more a robot than an human being. I bet he has metal under the pink skin. Still, sometimes I agree with him and he has good points.

Totalmente de acuerdo contigo! Es muy difícil tener la sensación de deber cumplido, de que se tiene lo que se desea o de que estamos en el lugar en el que realmente debemos estar.
Curiosamente esto no les pasa a mis amigos que se quedaron en Asturias hace años pero si a todos los que, como yo, emprendieron un viaje que nunca sabemos donde ni cuando acabará...
