For the most part we humans live with the false impression of security and a feeling of being at home in a seemingly familiar and trustworthily physical and human environment. But when the expected course of everyday life is interrupted, we realize that we are like shipwrecked people trying to keep their balance on a miserable plank in the open sea, having forgotten where they came from and not knowing whether they are drifting.

A balance of the two, where people are grateful for what they have while striving for more seems the best blended perspective.

It is sometimes said that because of our past we, as a people, expect too much and set our sights too high. That is not the way I see it.
