I'm wondering how much of this is because of our modern society really, distraction by all sorts of media and also a growing relativistic way of thinking.
Been having some talks with my philosopher neighbour about this and he says that thinking in terms of better or the best is quite a western and relativistic way of thinking, which in the end, if you pull it towards its core, undermines itself as there's always something better to be found and some of the most important factors can't be influenced much so you can never really tell what is the best, hence life itself doesn't actually warrant such a way of thinking.
That was quite helpful / insightful I thought.
