I am not sure of the exact quote, but Richard Ney said something like this in his book:
"A person gets into the market for the same reason a prostitute solicit sex for money---no hard work."

Ask Winstonwolf told me once, human behavior in real life is no different from the market psychology---herd mentality.

People often engage in the market not only for money, but its the easy money that they shoot for. Not to mention the thrill, the test of mind, and the glory and glam that associate with it.

I am not a philosopher as well as you are, so I only have this much to give.
