Excellent Marek. That's what I pointed out as being the ultimate; when people are all self-actualizing, right at the tippy top of Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

But let's be realistic, the world is far, far from that Utopia, desirable though it is.

Meanwhile, to earn a living, we have to do things we'd prefer not to do to satisfy the needs and wants of other people who have the money at the moment. Which, fortunately for me, happens to be me at the moment.

Great post!

<. I talk to all levels, janitors and managers and always have the impression that fear is our biggest sin. Wealth and happiness hardly ever go together. Happy people don't wear a watch, hardly ever look at the clock, they don't treat time as money. >

This is outrageous!! The stock market will implode if this is correct... Q will crash!

Fear>anxiousness, etc are all the same. They come from not wanting to be where you are... not wanting to be in the moment... wanting something else... of course it's always in the future, or from replaying the past. It comes from time.

<Happy people don't wear a watch, hardly ever look at the clock, they don't treat time as money>

Exactly.

You obviously don't know about Jay's Amazing Custom-Made Fancy-Schmanzy Pure Platinum Highly Bejeweled Masterpiece of the Horological Arts. Jay, though a Doom and Gloom type from a financial standpoint, seems like a phenomenally well-adjusted happy kind of individual. Like me, he probably had a a good laugh when he read this aspect of your post.

Marek, Canada is in the penalty mark! It rode in the coat tails of the US (so far), US nose diving, Canadians have to fare for themselves.

They are the first goody goody governing elite to contemplate the cold reality.
