When everything is optional and subject to millions of alternatives, “I’m satisfied, this is good” looks like surrender without terms and is liable to be treated as such. “I guess you’re heading somewhere, or you’re ending up somewhere.” - “Book of James,” Augustines.

I think its the cognitive dissonance between the meritocratic ideal of "I deserve all this wealth because I work hard" and the reality of "I benefited a lot from my circumstances". The only way to reconcile is to be non-stop busy on paper.
