Everybody wants to ride Mr. Toad's Wild Ride

Why the hell do we try to make everything in our lives so complicated? As if the harder it is, the better our lives will seem when explained to others. I mean, we all basically want the same things. We just define those things differently, which I suppose is the biggest problem. As an example, we all want to be happy. Which is obviously going to be something different for every single person in the world. I mean, I'm pretty easy. I would be happy with a lot less than I have materially, as long as I had my family and friends. Does the problem arise when we use other people's definition of happiness? Is that where the "I can't settle" attitude comes from? Why can't we be happy with the things that we have. I understand, and have no problems with trying to get/wanting more. On the other hand, if the pursuit of those things is making us forget what we already have, than what is the reason for it? If you can't be happy on the path, than why the fuck take the trip in the first place? You know, I don't know a single person that I call a friend that shouldn't consider themselves "blessed" for the things that they have, that most of them take for granted. In fact, most people take the best things in their life for granted. As stated earlier, I get trying for and wanting more. I just don't get how that pursuit should ever replace what we already have.
