Yup... as you'll know, having three cars and one driver... these goods are very hollow and unsatisfying marks of success. The ownership of them will not make you happy. All they'll make you do it wonder why you feel hollow and unfulfilled... plus many everyday people will really dislike you or think you are pathetic for promenading your wealth infront of them and thinking it makes you important and superior. I'm afraid you've rather missed the mark with this one. I'm sure Sean's sense of self-fulfillment (like Michael Hergers and the other contributors too) comes mostly (99%) from doing something they believed in and enjoyed. The rest is just baubles. Unfortunately out current shallow glossy magazine western society promotes baubles above the (to me) obviously important things that bring individuals happiness and fulfillent. Give me a bicycle, fresh air and open country roads over the planet-destroying, selfish, short sighted and ego-centric behaviour of someone who owns three gas guzzling cars any day. That about sums it up really.
