I love this line from a 2024 TV show called "The Gentlemen" and I think about it a lot:

"It’s a lucky man who is happy with his place in life"

> "It’s a lucky man who is happy with his place in life"

This is a central premise of the Dune science-fiction cycle by Frank Herbert.

So, if you believe in this claim, you should (dystopically) brainwash people into loving their place in life.

The only thing I think a lot about is advancing at work and saving up for a bigger home.

Whenever I stop up to appreciate both my current working and living conditions, I’m happy for that period of time.

Yet, if I’m content, I’ll never live somewhere else doing something harder. I’d rather be a little unhappier always if I can think of ways to advance in the minigames I favor.
