By successful I mean that they aspire to go up the corporate ladder and work their lives away to make money. Nigga I'm literally gonna be dead in 50-60 years, I feel like working my life away for material success as the #1 goal is a waste of consciousness and potential. Money and assets should only constitute a portion of one's energy expenditure.
But idk honestly, I understand it's the way many people cope with their unexplainable existence and otherwise pointless lives, but a part of me truly sees life as a spiritual journey hidden inside a maze of intense suffering, meaninglessness, and confusion. And falling for the "work until you die" lifestyle looks like a trap into darkness.
Obviously if you enjoy your work a lot that's different. But most people end up hating their jobs, hating their wives, hating their kids and hating themselves.
