Many people are earning money not because they need it to survive physically; they are earning money because that is the only substance which makes them feel like a somebody in the world. You are trying to earn “yourself” because somewhere you feel insufficient the way you are so you want to gather so many things and make yourself feel substantial.
One big mistake societies of the world have made today is, economics has become the most important part of their lives, economics has become the most important part of the whole world. Not love, joy, humanity, art, music, not anything; economics is the most important part of life. Once you make economics the most important part of your life, you will naturally live a very crude life. If societies become very poor they become very crude.
If societies become very rich they will become vulgarly crude. Economics will become brutal when other things are no longer valued. Only if societies are well to do but not vulgarly rich will other things exist. So we have to hit a balance. Importance has to be given to economics but other things must also be important in life.
