> But they mostly seem to have found something that they like well enough and contributes to society. And perhaps that's an important lesson to take away. Part of living a happy, fulfilling life is finding the joy within what is attainable.

I fully agree about all of this. The sad fact is that, in my country, a person with this humble and contented perspective is rolling the dice when it comes to housing, health, and autonomy, and many of them lead unnecessarily stressful and lives with no time/energy for community or creative development. That’s the part I would like to see fixed.

Exactly! It shows people being valuable to each other in small ways, having purpose, and being involved in each other's lives.

And it emphasizes the joy and texture of everyday life. The little things.
