"Hell is other people" I guess.
Relativity got we all fukked up thinking we can do better when we look at other people while if we just pause for a moment, take a look at our life as westerners and see that they are, in all objectivity, beautiful. We discussing existential questions sitting in from of computers with high speed internet ffs. Better is the enemy of good they say, well "they" are right and if we could appreciate our current state, maybe happiness rate will be higher in western societies.
I don't know if it's the human mind to forever be dissatisfied with its current condition or never be able to objectize it but this thought process is what's crippling a lot of people. As people, we need to understand that good is actually good and better is not needed. The greatest knowledge in life that we 20-something people need to acquire is to be able to spot the moment when we are good. From time to time, I manage to "see" it clearly like "my life is nice" and I don't need to do better honestly but most of the time, I see some friends with "better lives", younger people with better money, people more swagged out than me and I begin to envy them. Can't fight that feeling though, it's too powerful.
But from our younger days we are pushed to do or think better to reach a supposedly high potential in order to be satisfied. It's really hard to deconstruct this behavior that has been rooted in ourselves from the very beginning. I'm a laid back dude, so I've managed to have "good enough" outbursts often and quite been like that in my younger days so. Remember when I was in college and was stating to my mates "I'm good with a 13/20, I don't need a higher grade" so I would just work enough to get a grade around that while other people were grinding their asses to reach a higher one and reach "satisfaction". Some people call that mediocrity or laziness. I call it "good enough".
"Good enough" is contrary to progress though because it's leads to status-quo. And while it happens, the world keeps spinning...
Is being satisfied by good will get me outdated ? Maybe. I got 10 y/o tees that I still wear and I don't care because I feel like we don't need most of what we have. We are constantly pushed to upgrade ourselves. And that "forever dissatisfied" seed is in our minds and we are reminded endlessly that we can't be satisfied because we are not up to date enough. New is better but not always needed, so IMO, "better" is the devil really.
It's the same with girls. Some day, you look at your gf and then you say "I could upgrade her definitely" and when you break up, you realize that she was good enough and that you should have never thought that about her (
)
because I haven't done it yet. I know I've got the hard headed determination and balls to get where I want to go (like for example, back in october I had to find £3000 out of thin air within a timeframe of 3 weeks otherwise I was literally fucced, like seriously game over fucced, and I managed to do it without breaking a sweat) , so I guess i'm basically just impatient and want it now. I'm a product of my generation 
at them couldn't catch me doing that.
