This thought has always bothered me and made me look  into it and seek opinions from people from wall street journal millioners to my small time tailor friend. The answer i see is money, fame, social status, social acceptibility, something that makes you happy. I see people behaving like animals just to get some extra bucks.........but y? do they need to do it?

The basis for working has been to bring bread and butter to the family. Till the time this was the case, people were behaving like humans. But what i see is the motivation for earning money has changed, the goals have changed from living a contentful and peaceful life to KEEPING UP WITH THE JONESES . This has given rise to all the economic problems we see around. And it is difficult to go against the crowd. So people who are not out to do that still do it coz of peer pressure.
