This is an e-mail reply I made to a friend who has a lot of unique travel experiences. We were talking about the pressure to make money and the forfeiture of living well as a result of pursuing the almighty dollar.
We all need money...up to a point. But there are a lot of people accumulating much, following the herd and seemingly not enjoying life. There's a price to pay for pursuit of riches. It may be a lack of sleep, job you don't like, long commute, family that hates you, etc.. but walking around Tokyo or sleeping in a yurt in Mongolia, all the money won't make that happen if people don't have the time or sense of adventure. And those experiences surpass all the excess possessions in my book.
