--Why pepole are sad ?

--"'That's simple', says the old man, 'They are prisoners of their personal history.Everyone believes that the main aim in life is to follow a plan . Then never ask if that plan was created by another person . They accumlate experiences, memories, things, other pepole's ideas, and it is more than they can possibly cope with, and that is why they forget their own dreams.'"

That's beautiful and true.

Beautiful, true, but sad; awkwardly freakishly sad !

I agree with the statement of the answer, although I am not sure if it is the proper answer for the proposed question.

Plans are worthless if they are not consistent with our goals.

But if you ask me why people are "sad", it's because they forget who they are. They are humans, first, second and last. And we have suffered so much dehumanization in our life.
