Inspiration & Paradox 4: Forgetting the reason for our life pursuits

On the way home, I asked Jaz if he noticed the cars that aggressively sped by are mostly branded and expensive and we wondered why. We figured that it could be about lifestyles. Many people with high earning power lead very busy life, be it work or social, so much so that they become fast drivers on the road and have little patience with waiting and traffic jams. Ironically, people are working hard so that they become successful, get rewarded financially and can afford to slow down and enjoy the pleasures in life. Have we become so caught up in the pursuit of prosperity that we forget the reason for our pursuit or even lose the ability to enjoy what we work so hard for?
