I found this line quite interesting, as this article is about being careful what you wish for? Maybe if people stopped striving for more, they wouldn’t end up in the situation of having to want more. I think its the idea of ‘more’ that is causing the stress. Ironically, you could say ‘less’ is more.

Being content is not necessarily a bad thing, chasing constant happiness. A state which comes and goes is not something that I’d wish for anyone. So sometimes being content, with what we have and where we are is what is most important.

A great post and a good read.
