I saw this strip - a collection of quotes from Chris Guillebeau presented as a comic strip and had a good laugh. I think the strip itself is very thought provoking. I think while running in the rat race for the wants and needs; we've forgotten to be our own and live life on our own terms. Sadly, people have no time or willingness to define their own terms; let alone follow them.

I've heard a quote that - by living a life that resembles mostly like that of others; you enjoy the 'little little' joys of life; and those who're driven tend to skip them. A 3 BHK flat, LCD TV, an entry level Sedan, a two door refrigerator, furniture seems to be taking up most of our life in the form of EMIs.
