This is unnatural and unhealthy. For the individual and the society alike.
Societies are obsessed with economic (amount of dollars) performance and the competition between and inside countries. Which on this level [1] is sick and unsustainable. The economy makes lots of money for the sake of making lots of money and for competition exploiting the livelihood of common people, sucking lots of surcharge in advance for the most basic necessities of a human being like knowledge and place to live (lack of those is social if not literal suicide), driving up competition and prices, that drives competition and payments in advance (debt) even further, in a sick downward loop. Exploiting people for extra profit for few that they have no idea how to spend so are panicing what to do with it calling investment, but more like a nervous jumping from here to there in haste, shaking the economy apart slowly in speculational rampage. People making up the society are getting to be a wreck this way or the other (as taking part of the nerve wrecking race or by left behind to rot). It is held together still somehow, but how long? Does not seem sustainable at all. It was better not being part of this humanity. This way. But what else? Could I be a magpie instead perhaps? That sounds much better idea that this high pace nervous struggling called human life. Especially when we had a better choice if we were not so damn competitive all, I mean all the time.
