Rich Man's Paradox (Or, the grass is always greener on the other side, until you get there)

A poor boy dreams of being rich and having everything he desires. He grows up and becomes a wealthy businessman. The world is his oyster. Servants are at his beckon call. Hot women left and right. Whatever.

He has it all ... and becomes frustrated with it. He becomes "bored" by all the choices. The freedom to do whatever he wants becomes a prison of choices. His ability to do everything constrains him from doing anything.

A few miles away, in all directions, millions struggle to achieve the wealth the rich man has acquired, so they can live that life....

So ... people struggle for something that, in the end, they won't want.
