One of the properties of the correct ultimate goal that a person can set for himself is its inexhaustibility, in the sense that the achieved good cannot get boring, and eternity, in the sense that with the achieved good you can be happy even for eternity. In this sense, many goals are not suitable: they will exhaust themselves either immediately upon reaching, or after a relatively short time. Buying a car or going to Paris – these are such limited goals, after they are achieved, if they are accepted as the final ones, there may be frustration and emptiness.

He captured Egypt, Persia, came to India and got bogged down there, and when he found out that even further behind India there was a powerful empire – China, he completely fell into melancholy. And he said the phrase: “there are countless worlds in the universe, and I haven't captured one yet!” If you set a serious goal, then the number of problems that arise dynamically should be many times higher than all expectations. Most likely, you will still have to fly out, as you simply can't cope. But this is what really develops.
