I (respectfully) disagree -- I think modern society's obsession with pursuing _material wealth & riches_ is not healthy, but I think the pursuit of happiness is a worthy goal. The two, of course, are often confused, but happiness can be found in many socioeconomic forms, and, frankly, I think it should be the goal. If you're happy - regardless of the size of your home or your bank account - what else do you really need?
- nwienert 12y agoI think it's more that you can't have happiness as a goal... as soon as you set a goal to "get" to happiness, you have missed the point. Life isn't about getting to anywhere, it's about enjoying the moment, happiness is only ever here. To make it a goal misses that point entirely!
