work

Why should we work? Should we not be able to get a sense of accomplishment by just living a long and happy life. At least not do things for money and do them for the betterment of society. I believe that if everyone did their work for the betterment of society that we could be a utopia. However greed, jealousy, envy, etc. prevent us from accomplishing these goals. The human races juvenile thought that we have to be the best prevents us from being just that. After all one man in the army with the weapons to fight in a war and the rest of the men in his army have sticks, the war is lost. However if everyone in the army has the weapons and technology to win then we shall win. The steps to make this utopia are impossible to achieve due to one man having to have the powers of a totalitarian dictator so that the arrangements can be made for humanity in a timely manner. This meaning that once that is accomplished that person would have to step down, which would never happen. In government today for a bill to be passed it first has to be proposed, then debated, then bashed by the media, then debated again, then filibustered, then edited, then debated again and again, then maybe JUST MAYBE it will get passed or vetoed back to start most of the process over again. Bottom line is there really is only one way to make everyone happy and that is to have a utopia, which will never happen and thus EVERYONE cannot be happy.
