Because we haven't fulfilled our potential. We take jobs that suck, because of bills, because of trying to have fun, and function in a society. The structure of our kind of existence negates extended periods of happiness with anything less than that which is prescibed as perfect bliss by said society.
Money can't buy you love, money can't buy you happiness.... but you can't do with out it, because you get nothing from poverty either. A happy medium is hard to find, because "life" gets in the way. We need a car, need a house, need that new tv, a blender with 57 speeds...
We ponder the meaning of life because we are trying to rationalize some higher meaning, because it can't be as simple as being happy with what you have, being a good person by respecting others, and all that. If we can think it, why can't we have it.

Do that voodoo that you do, so well ~>
HITTING BOTTOM ISN'T A WEEKEND RETREAT! IT'S NOT A SEMINAR! ONLY AFTER YOU'VE LOST EVERYTHING ARE YOU FREE TO DO ANYTHING! YOU SEE, YOU LISTEN, BUT YOU DON'T GET IT! YOU HAVE TO FORGET EVERYTHING YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING YOU THINK YOU KNOW!
