Eckhart Tolle

They've got money, huge amounts of money.

They've got fame and recognition and the private jet.

Can you do anything, go anywhere at any moment?

And that can be particularly bad, counterproductive, because you cannot fool yourself.

The ego cannot fool itself by saying, when I get this, I'll be happy.

Because then you can still postpone.

The ego can say, once I achieve that, I'll be happy.

But the person already has everything.

Yoshi cannot say that anymore because you have no way.

There's no excuse anymore because you have everything and you're not happy.

So then very often people then start taking drugs or engage in other kinds of seeking sensory satisfaction through substances or going from one relationship into another, having sex or whatever they do, because they can buy anything they want and they get more and more unhappy.

because the ego was there, and the ego will never be satisfied, no matter what you achieve.

In the Course in Miracles, it says, I don't know if you've seen that, it says, you will always know whether

The ego was at work when once you achieved it, it hasn't satisfied you.

That was ego.

So there's another saying that goes, there are two ways of being unhappy.

One is not getting what you want, and the other one is getting what you want.

Wow.

That refers to the ego.

So sure, some people are unhappy because they don't get what they want and the others are unhappy because they get everything they want.
