Have you not heard of monks? Have you not heard of travelling musicians? Maybe not, maybe you don't get it, but I can assure you, a higher calling has nothing to do with resources and many of those who do find meaning in working, will be happy to break bread with a travelling monk or hear a musician's tune and tale of adventure.
It's the many colors of the rainbow that make it beautiful. How awful it'd be if we all wanted to work, so that our children could work, so that their children could work, until we've populated this planet and sucked it dry, with our boring diligence.

It's, in it's entirety only about getting money, getting more money and getting more efficient at getting more money. The holders of this sentiment seem to find it offensive to find pleasure in anything else than being the best worker ant this quarter they can possibly be. It's rather creepy to witness.
