You are not allowed to be modest and enjoy your life here. You have to always be striving for more and deeply unhappy with what you already have. It’s the national religion.
it’s not hyperbole dude. where in USA culture is being content with what you have celebrated or looking upon positive?
certainly not in our popular culture. maybe regionally sure, i have known mid-western people who were pretty content, but certainly not common attitude in most other parts of the country. maybe in more rural areas that’s true, i certainly grew up in a town with people who had no ambition and many of whom never left or never improved their lives.
hell USA is the origin of the prosperity gospel. we are so obsessed with material greed we mixed it up with our religion.
You’ve not met very many people then, and/or are heavily influenced by what you see online. Most people, yes even in the US, are not like what you’re describing.
Who’s being hyperbolic again?
