If I may extend on you point about being given everything one wanted :
The reason I think people are unhappy/unsatisfied when they are given everything rather than earned, is because, if they haven't lived the journey towards achieving it, they've missed out on countless experiences that would have taught them how to wear it with pride. They've reached the destination without the experience of the journey and now they don't really understand what value the destination holds.
So in their head they have what they wanted. But they don't really feel the value of what they have. And unless we value what we have, we're never really happy or satisfied, are we!
Precisely. The journey is valuable because it gives context to the destination, and without that experience, the destination is meaningless.
