Why 7 billion people want the same thing and never attain it

I recently watched a 2016 Eloise King interview with Neale Donald Walsch, King repeats the question Walsch had asked in his Conversations with God: How can 7 billion people on this planet all want exactly the same thing: to be loved, to be happy, to be secure, to live in harmony… and not be able to achieve it?”

Walsch says we’ve been trying for several thousand years, and if we were scientists in a laboratory, we’d say “obviously there’s something we don’t understand here.” Walsch says “seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven, and all these things will be added unto you,” without effort.
