Will Humanity learn to keep company of itself

Life is too short to spend times on the things that is not important am i not obliged that i have born here have good education,house,land,family who take care of me one thing amazed me that people who have spend most of there youth in acquiring wealth without enjoying there life and who were ready to do anything for the well being of there family when they become old when they realize that everything they build will be going to destroy after there death since they were the sole creator and none will take that much emotional feelings in keeping the things rolling.The problem with human race now days is that its very difficult for them to do nothing and sit quietly which can not be avoided for ever one point of time he/she has to learn how to keep company of himself/herself.Does too much consumption of materialistic things are eating us from inside is there some correlation between high consumption and high depression.If have seen some cases where the servant and master are of same age and master have materialistic item in his possession he consume a lot as well and the servant have only access to half stomach food still servant is alive and doing labor whole day and servant died.Indeed wealthy people have access to things which common people do not have but there too much consumption of materials are responsible for there premature death .
