I feel that we are a very hard working society, perhaps one of the hardest working on the planet. And I do think that it's a great thing because look at all the advances we have made in science, medicine, law, etc. But are we also making ourselves an unhappy people putting value on success and wealth above all else? Not all of us do, but it seems like we live in a society that tells us the greatest people are the ones with the highest level jobs at their companies and we step all over each other's toes to get there. When I drive to work sometimes other commuters swerve around me and give me an angry look because I wasn't going fast enough. Do you think we would be kinder to each other if we weren't all in such a rush to get to our jobs and make the almighty dollar? Sure, maybe people are just running late but do we have to be so mean to each other? I know we all need money to live, but I think the pursuit of too much of it can make us very unhappy in the long run. Your thoughts?
