Insane for what? It is life in itself, that requests us to work for our own good. Animals also have to get out, hunt or gather their plants, find shelter, flee from those who want to eat them.

Survival always is an investment. But the great thing is that modern countries are most trying to work towards humanrights. So there are even institutional safetynets, when we loose the job one day. So I get the opportunity to live without fear, even then.

Live conditions improved a lot in the last decades. We live longer, we live healther and in many countries hunger is almost inexistant.

The biggest problem I see is still the disconnection. It got harder to feel fullfilled. Whatever person that knows to be hungry, for having too few, will know they are doing well, when they and their family goes to sleep with something in their stomach and the have got a roof over their bed.

But modern societies often give so many opportunities, that it is hard to find a path in which one is fullfilled. We have a full supermarket to choose, yet we will only need one meal. When we can have everything it can be hard to be happy with the thing we have choosen.

I think we have to accept, that our choices do not have to be perfect. So we can be happy with our choices. And we can be happy to change our choices without loosing face. Since we are inperfect beings. When we accept those things, we set us up for a happy life.
