  I think our freedom is being dictated because we are believing what is being presented to us. Society tells us a college education will help us obtain the job we've always wanted, and we will be happy, and in this 'perfect job', we will make lots of money and have everything we could possibly want. But ask those who have it all if they are truly satisfied. If society is right, and America is the greatest, richest, most powerful country, then why do people still want more, stealing, lying, and cheating to get more? We have it made, shouldn't all be right and perfect here? Most of us have a job, transportation, a TV, and plenty of clothes to choose from. Having a job and money doesn't satisfy, and it's obvious, otherwise we would be satisfied. Society is telling us a lie, and we are not satisfied. We need to realize that what we value determines our satisfaction. Society is telling us to value money and achievements and whatever is best for us, but it's not working out so well, because many, many people are not truly satisfied. So we need to stop believing the lie of society and realize that our true satisfaction does not come from these things.

True satisfaction comes about because our need for that satisfaction is met. But who could know that need better than the one who created the need, God.

Sounds to me like you just need to lower your standards of satisfaction. Me, I'm content just to wake up in the morning; everything after that is gravy.
 
haha life for us, the ones stuck in the monotony of post-college life, have such luxuries but i think one day we will have to face up to things and find our purpose and happy place. thats why im going back to school. ah blessed sanctuary of academia.
