I agree with chancey in that there is "something wrong with a society that 
constantly needs to be entertained, and is fervently searching for happiness 
in money and the things that can be purchased with it." In today's world 
everthing revolves around money. We are taught from day one to work and 
strive to achieve success in life and career and to hopefully make a 
considerable amount of money. Although some jobs and careers may be rewarding 
in forms of non-monterary ways such as teaching, but much of society does not 
view the lower income jobs as being sucessful. In corporate America, people 
often work extremely high stress jobs in order to receive a larger salary 
instead of working in something more enjoyable but with lower pay.  This is 
because society does view money as a major source of happiness regardless of 
what it takes to earn money.
