Unhappiness is on the rise and a vacuum is being felt more than ever before. All the worldly possessions are unable to keep one happy. Dissatisfaction is at a peak in spite of using some of the best brands and having a huge bank balance and investments, a big house and a car. Yet life seems incomplete and unfulfilled.
While there is a good family, what is missing is time for each other. Mobile phones and loneliness seem to have taken charge. Alot of distraction has set in as it is normal during midlife crisis. One starts drinking and smoking a bit more, and loses interest in the small pleasures of life, and feels largely ignored by the spouse and life. The mobile phone has become a mistress of sorts at work during daytime; yet at night, one has to take a pill to sleep. It seems everything is running away; things are going out of control. Loneliness is killing.
