Agree, and i think another problem, and an even more fundamental one, is that most of us can say in 2 seconds all the things that we don't want, but have a much harder time picking the things that we do want, because we are aware that you cant be an astronaut, an actor, a hippie wanderer and a world renowned scientist all at once. Knowing what you want requires a compromise on almost everything else, and that is already a challenge for a lot of people. Also fatalist hi-five from an aspiring nihilist :P
The great mysteries of life. :)
