I think it’s also important to keep in mind that while our way of life may be the only way of life we have ever known, it is certainly not an optimal way of life. We live in a civilization where, for instance, a “successful” person is somebody who acquires tons of debt to earn a degree which will allow them to obtain a high-paying but extremely stressful job so they can purchase a big car in order to drive two hours a day to the job so they can pay for the gas to drive to the job so they pay off the debt which they acquired in order to earn the degree to obtain the job so they could purchase the car to drive to the job so they could pay for the gas which their neighbor’s 19-year-old son just got his head blown off in Iraq for.
