St. Paisios of the Holy Mountain said:
“A rich, spoiled child does not feel any joy, even when his parents satisfy all his caprices. He may have everything, and still feel like his life is horrible; so he breaks and destroys whatever he finds. [...] The Swedes, who receive state allowances for almost everything, and do not need to work for it, end up roaming the streets. They get tired of doing nothing, and feel distressed; because they are spiritually derailed — like a wheel that leaves its axle, and then rolls aimlessly and falls over a cliff.”
