Henry David Thoreau hit on an essential quality of life in modern America with that quote. Think about it. How many people really achieve what they set out to accomplish in life, and how many struggle, fuss, strive and end up with nothing but broken dreams, debt and memories? I think the quote is pretty self-explanatory. It's true. The mass of men DO lead lives of quiet desperation.

Men are from Mars and Woman are From Venus. Mars is a detailed and driven planet with total exposure to the Sun. Venus is a cool planet that guarded by the Sun. Mars is always trying to protect and over compensate be it discovered by the Sun it could be destroyed. Men operate under cloak of night, can't cry, can't complain, can't express their emotions. Men feel they have to be strong and fix everything...At the end of the day, men cry alone.

Most people are not happy with what they have and need to get more and are impatient to do it. They lurch from day to day, just to pay bills and worry more.
