Probably because we want so much. I know some people who live at a much more relaxed pace than me, they just live a more simple life with less physical rewards. I can't help but think they are a head of the rest of us who keep on working and working many hours.

It's a trade-off we deal with in order to afford our ever needy lives and pay our bills. Unfortunately it has escalated so much that our jobs have slowly become a large part of who we are instead of just being a means to enrich our lives.
