Because everybody suffers. Everybody.

It sounds like he's had the idea that if he flogs himself working hard, then there will be a payoff, and having done that for 25+ years, the result of his hard work is that it's brought him to a point that logistically and financially has left him secure and settled, but nevertheless has not delivered the expectation that the end point of hard work would be contentment. Now his complete lack of deep and meaningful contentment has left him feeling empty and he's now suffering because of that.

I am close to be financially independent. But I wish I was already. I have so much stuff to do, traveling, spending time with my family. Not having to worry about your day-to-day will lift so much burden and bs. I just can't understand how people who have already made it, struggle with finding purpose in life.

As we type on this keyboard, children out there in world are dying starving, or because of some war .. and here we are wining.

My grand father spent his youth fighting in a fck war! And after that he spent years working in a foreign country, to provide the means for his family to survive.

I can't possible empathize with this guy, I am sorry.

Get your s*t together and be grateful for what you have.

Report back to us once you're independent and secure.

You're right - it doesn't seem to make sense that we suffer with all kinds of problems when there are more important things happening. But nevertheless, we still suffer all the time, and a lack of contentment at our core at a time of peace can be such a reason for suffering. In the midst of a war, life is heightened, and so there's no time for this more superficial level of dissatisfaction to emerge. But nevertheless, I can't imagine that you'd suggest to OP to go and fight as a mercenary in Ukraine as a way of relieving what he's finding difficult.
