State of Denial

Sometimes, people tend to piss me off....
People are different. I understand
People are exposed to different cultures and different beliefs..I understand
People are driven by different motives... I understand..
What I dont understand though, is the undelying Ostentation that each one holds on to like an everlasting salvation....
What I hate even more, is when this is based on aboslutely not a shred of a tangible accomplishment.
I am not mad at anyone, I seriously believe in people minding their own business. But Sometimes, I am intrigued by human behaviour, and the reasons behind their actions.
Lets take these scenarios:
1- A middle aged man, quite successful who is obviously going through an early middle life crisis, pompous about the party lifestyle he embarked upon as a reward for a week of hard work, buys himself a few "gifts" when he is bored, pretends he does not need anyone by his side, yet always seeking some sort of attention from people (not realising it).
2-Female, rebellious to traditions, not cultural beliefs, not religious beliefs, but what I would refer to as a normal person's traditions of allowing one self to seek happiness, sucess and love. Finds a reason to always gets of track: "I dont think im the kind of a faithful person", "I dont like my life in this city, but Im coping, what else Can I do?"

I mean, the solution to those two scenarios are very similar and simple. The first one obviously has a missing element. It seems to me that he has been satisfied so far with all of his accomplishments but always needs something more, always seeks to be better than everyone because in every other person's life, he sees his own missing element: a companion, to make his accomplishments meaningful to himself and to the world, to turn to someone when that attention is needed.
In the case of the female, she can not truly accomplish anything to her own good, She can not push herself to do anything that she wants to do because there is noone by her side to do it with. She hides behind her reason of disloyalty as a come back to her own unhappiness with her self and her own accomplishments, despite the fact that she knows for a fact she could be so much better that she allowed her self to be.

But Denial is a deadly weapon...
