When modern people feel unhappy they often fantasize about an idealized traditional or primitive life imagining that would be better.

People in those lives often do the opposite, imagining being unencumbered or living some kind of cosmopolitan life.

It’s pretty normal to imagine “elsewhere” when you are unhappy. “Elsewhere” is by definition not where you are.

As far as I can tell angst is normal for human beings and everyone in every lifestyle feels it.
