Please don't hate yourself. Do you think the lie-flat seats bring joy? Do you know the plane's destination? In this example, I'd rather be the guy who skipped the airport and went fishing. If anything, you have a head start on understanding this. The others may feel as you do when they're 30, 40, 50 or older, and feel tremendous heartache for wasted time. There is a ceiling everybody reaches in competition, and the billionaires want you to exhaust yourself finding it while working for them. Don't be afraid to question everything. You're young, and your 20s are more or less designed for brain development and tough lessons. But if you use this time to take a step back, your life could become heaven. I'm glad you reached out.

Thanks for this comment. Needed to read something like this today :)
It is 64 degrees outside and cloudy. The young man energy is raw and overpowering! Air quality 24 with very little wind. Good day for a bike ride or a spell of right inaction.
Even billionaires reach ceilings in competition, because the sorts of things they compete in are things money can't buy.
