Perhaps you’re right. They may all share a common basis in making one’s life more comfortable. Still, you’d be surprised how little people actually believe that. Many aren’t willing to simply be comfortable, and for others, comfort is a long-forgotten dream that can only come when approved of by those around them. Which is why people will seek out fame, respect, status, and other such desires as a tangible goal, and lose sight of what their truth is.

Still, I suppose that makes business good for a magician like myself! Filling in that void of happiness is what magicians do best!
