I remember an episode of ‘Cheers’ where Diane keeps pushing Norm to try and get ahead. He goes along with it for a while, then finally snaps. He’s reached his goal! Sitting at the bar 12 hours a day is exactly what he wants.
You may not always have what you want, but if you want what you have, you can be happy.
As for me, I don’t find much satisfaction in material things (although again, I wouldn’t object to owning a ’69 Mustang Mach 1). Experiences are more satisfying than stuff.

The point of life for you Pig is … Eat lots of Cheese, Cure the cheese with lots wine, Take long naps to marinate, and become the best bacon ever.

So, pig really does have a life goal, one he probably has achieved repeatedly already.

Pastis is getting a lot of mileage out Pig and cheese. This is becoming Garfield and lasagna esque.
