I work with a guy that is absolutely obsessed with being rich. He totally believes that money and sex are the only keys to a persons happiness. He says all of our adult lives we are constantly striving for one or the other. I personally think there is more to life than that. What do you think?

That depends on your priorities. Obviously this guy is shallow and one-dimensional. If money and sex truly make him happy then fine, that's his perogative. From an evolutionary standpoint, procreation is a basic instinct...but I'd like to think we're evolved enough to have more rational thought.
I don't know what truly 'makes the world go round'. But I do believe that every person's idea of happiness is slightly different than anyone else's. I think companionship is a very important part of human life and if you can find someone who has a similar idea of what 'happiness' entails, then you're on the right track!

With everything that society teaches us it seems to be true, but I agree that there are lots of good things in between that must be appreciated. I think that people that have a true appreciation of life are the only ones that can enjoy money and sex.

Unfortunately, there is more. There is hatred, greed, lust, religion, and manye terrible things, but, good of people, of go, of, and like she said love and prosperity. It depends who you are, there is much more to it than just those two things...
God makes my world go round. I do not belong to a religion, but thrive in an amazing community of God's children and hold an unbreakablle, and truly amazing relationship with god, I'm not blinded by religion..

"Saw a civilization where grabbing onto wealth
Was the only guarantee of freedom peace and health
Dollar sign value system upheld as the truth

this sums up the money part, as for the sex part, hey it makes him happy why does it bother you

Actually LOVE and PROSPERITY do make the world go around.
Think about it. Not sex but love. Not money but prosperity.
Blessed Be.

I think there is more to life than money and sex.
Personally i'd rather be poor and happy, than rich and miserable, but hey that's just me.

I think there is more to life than that. I also believe that, in the end, most people are motivated by the desire for sex..
