If it weren't for my family, I would so be out of here. I would sell everything I own except for a few things I need to get by, and become totally rootless for a while. I would just drift, like a seed, without compass, waiting to see if any fertile ground presents itself. I would just keep drifting like that, on the wind. I would leave the western

I suspect we are all brainwashed to actually pursue a life that is not in our best interests. I mean think about it. What's the deal with work ambition? Why would anyone want to spend more time at work? Certainly not for the money. Most middle class people already have more money than they need. We can't possible want more junk in our lives. Our closets are already full of it -- to the point where we have to hire people to look after it anytime we spend more than 24 hours away from it. How many "mobile devices" can you stuff in your pocket anyway??? Then there are employees. Why would anyone want more of those? Anyone who has ever had to be responsible for someone else's work will know what a joy that is. Bigger projects maybe? That means more people leaning on us day and night, calling us on the weekends stressed that our projects are not on track. And anyway, those big projects mostly amount to nothing -- nobody even remembers them a year or two down the road. But just watch people fall all over themselves to get that promotion. Most of us should be running away from work, not asking for more.
