"You can never get enough of what you don't need to make you happy"
- Eric Hoffer
About this Quote
This quote by Eric Hoffer highlights a basic reality concerning human nature: that we usually go after things we don't truly need in order to find joy. The concept is that we tend to focus on material possessions, condition symbols, or various other outside elements that we believe will make us satisfied, yet that ultimately don't bring real and lasting fulfillment.
The expression "you can never ever obtain enough" recommends that chasing these things is a nonstop cycle, as we constantly want more and more without discovering true satisfaction. This can lead to a spiral of overconsumption and also frustration, as we remain to try to find happiness outside of ourselves instead of addressing much deeper emotional demands.
On the whole, Hoffer's quote functions as a cautionary tip to concentrate on what really makes us satisfied as well as satisfied, rather than just chasing shallow pleasures as well as outside recognition.
