Who profits from our constant state of dissatisfaction? The answer, of course, is painfully obvious. Every industry that sells a solution to a problem you didn’t even know you had. Every influencer who monetizes your insecurities. Every corporation that convinces you your worth is tied to your productivity. They thrive while we spiral. And the worst part is, they’ve convinced us it’s our fault. That we are the ones who need fixing. That our unhappiness is a personal defect, rather than a symptom of a society that demands too much and gives too little in return.
