Most irrational people are not aware of their own behavior.
The norm today is not to be the norm. We follow the actions of TV , Political, and movies personalities on a subliminal level and are not even aware of our doing this.
The Amish don't have a lot of outside media interfering with their lifestyle and they seem to be coping better then our so called sophisticated society. We are victims of victims.

BUT whats rational CAN be relative also.Cultures values things from different ways and so do individuals.We are not in the same place and this is (according to me)creating the VERY irrational competing for anything and it all.
