A great commercial & an awful message

This commercial will sell a lot of Coke Zero. It creates a sense of longing for more and fulfills the need.

This is also the same message that absolutely destroys people’s hearts. The pursuit of more almost always leads to unhappiness. I recently had a conversation with a well known and quite wealthy person who’s got all of the more they could have wanted…

and they still felt empty.

More is not the answer. 

Whether you’ve got money or fame or are broke and unknown—more is not the answer. At the time of his life King Solomon was the richest man in the whole world. He had everything—mansions, huge monuments, hundreds of women, all the money you can want and he still wrote this. Today is a good day to take 5 minutes and read it. If you want to know how it ends, the last chapter is great.
