Well, good to hear that it's possible for two generations to destroy any chance at enjoying their lives they may ever have had to pursue money above all else.

Well, good to hear that it's possible for two generations to destroy any chance at enjoying their lives they may ever have had to pursue money above all else. We'd better encourage more of that /s.
- mc32 11y agoI think it shows some societies and people are willing to take the long view. It's better than just hoping something good will happen. Or that a government in shining armor will come to the rescue. They understand that some sacrifice of more or less status symbols, do provide a vehicle to success for their offspring. In addition, to many of them, joy comes in the form of seeing their offspring do better than themselves. So, to them sacrifice does not equate to not enjoying their lives. Their state of mind is different.

- prawn 11y agoIsn't Eli saying that it's unfortunate that parents have to make such a huge sacrifice just to dig their descendants out of what they're experiencing?
- eli_gottlieb 11y agoYes.
