Sometimes too make a point you have to take a more extreme perspective to get it across seriously enough. I have a fundamental belief that all has value and all ultimately leads to the same place. So I do think these have their place, but the problem is when they are given more respect than they are due. Thanks Addys, Good point. You can only give what you have. Cindy,

You’re right.

I think that selfishness and greed ARE a twisted form of that which could be good. I don't think society is always so grim however. The (good) rules help us to be good neighbors and distribute some sort of law and justice so we can live together. I also think that work is a blessing. Humankind have a tendency to take things for granted, especially if it is given to us consistently without work or effort on our part. I think work helps us to appreciate things in life we otherwise could NOT enjoy. Balance is what alot us of struggle to obtain. Too much time at work(workaholics), too much time at home(stay at home parents), or maybe we are sick or incapacitated and unable to work, therefore too much time to ourselves ... the list could go on. I think balance is the "golden bullet". When you balance things properly, you are able to let in the things that bring you happiness and satisfaction, because you make that a priority. For example, a stay at home parent NEEDS to do other things in order to retain their identity. The job they are doing is so important that it takes a well rounded person to produce other well-rounded individuals. What we need for our different balances in life are as varied as our personalities. I do agree that occasionally others' greed and selfishness "run" into our agency, thereby robbing us of some of the happiness we could have had. That is one of the challenges of life, I believe, which ultimately have the potential to make us even more happy (or miserable), because we have learned to treat the situation (and/or people) hopefully in a constructive manner. When we don't learn from it, sometimes we are doomed to repeat it. I do believe we must be true to ourselves (or else we wouldn’t care).
