Just came across a quote that struck me:
Happiness = Quality of Life minus Envy. ~Jimmy Carr
If you know who Jimmy Carr is you might be as surprised as I am to see that this is coming from him. The point he was making is we, on average, live today like the kings of 150 years ago but we still always want more. The average Quality of Life is so much higher by almost every metric than even 75 years ago, so we should be happier, right?
