I don't think it sums up all Americans, but many have noticed that we in America (and the west) tend to be extremely materialistic and that the value of one's life is determined in our societies by how much we own, how big the things we own, or how new the things we own are, etc. This has led some (Americans and Westerners as well as others outside of the west and Amerca) to point out that sometimes we miss the things of other value: family, friends, an active culture, an honoring of ancestry and family history, the chance to positively effect other people's lives and have them effect your life in a true and meaningful way that's value is beyond all material things.

Thinking of ones self will take you very far in life in some areas. It maybe a lonely ride to the top but it is a surefire way to get there. If you count out how much doing the right things for others has cost you or people around it almost makes it seem stupid to consider anyone other then yourself but if you can remember how you felt in lending a hand or sacrificing something it really does mean something. To each there own and however it helps you sleep at night being selfish or generous are up to the indivual and there needs at the time.

Nothing keeps us from living our lives; we just choose to not interact with the world.\n\nTechnology is a wonderful thing, and when it works properly, it frees us from life's mundane details so we can enjoy the important parts more.\n\nYet here we are, engaging in some solitary quest to entertain ourselves thru responding to other's questions and answers.\n\nAs for me, my wife and I are taking down the Christmas tree, listening to some familiar and unfamiliar music, and laughing and talking about everything I'm finding here.  So maybe there's some hope for me...

Due to the fact that there are social norms that have been instilled in us since we were children. Of course this is coupled with an innate sense of wanting to please others or wanting to look good in the eyes of other people. What people worry about always depends on what they deem as valuable to them. If a person values money and property he/she would often think about what other people would say if he/she were only driving a certain car. If a person values being perceived as a an individual who is competent and efficient he/she would do everything in his/her power to get things done. It really boils down to what you want other people to know about you and the kind of image you want to portray.

You forgot 'wealthy' and if Ben Franklin said it, it must be true! LOL.\n\nFor myself, I can never get enough sleep, I can't get up early, and so that must be why I only got two out of three of them. I'm not wealthy, but healthy--pretty much, and wise? Well, what's your opinion on that? How's this answer, ha ha!

Personal Values\nNowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing\n\nIt's relatively easy to work out the prices of THINGS because they can be measured, weighed, or appraised. But life's greatest treasures are intangible and, therefore, immeasurable. I can borrow a cup of sugar, but not a cup of love. I can buy four pounds of beef, but not four pounds of forgiveness. And I can rent an 800 square foot apartment, but not 800 square feet of wisdom.\n\nYes, a job, money, and possessions have value, but their value is in what they add to life. And what they add is spice. They represent the salt and pepper of life. The meat of life consists of the intangibles: friendships, relationships, love, service, creativity, civility, kindness, and spirituality, to name a few. Our values form our character and define us. They shape who we are. They are what make us memorable. Our values are what make us valuable. They give our life meaning, purpose, and direction. They guide our choices and direct our lives.\n\nValue yourself\nValue Compassion\nValue Passion\nValue Knowledge\nValue Kindness\nValue Time\nValue Mentoring\n\nIn short Personal values are principles that define you as an individual. Personal values, such as honesty, reliability, and trust, determine how you will face the world and relate with people.\n\n\nI hope this helps you. LL.

this phenomenon is because we were raised in a society that seems to reward greed.  The more things you have supposedly the better off you are.  So it seems natural that this infused value begins to show through in our attitudes and emotions.  It's just been part of our life that material thigns will make us happy, although once we obtain whatever it is we eventually discover how hollow it turns out to be.  then it's on to the next thing that'll forever change our lives.  Then as we lust for all these material things, somebody's pockets are getting lined with our money.  The little secret they wouldnt' want you to know is that it's really up to an individual to choose to feel satisfied or not regarless of their situation. The old maxim: The ebst thigns in life are free...   now then again so are the worst, nobody ever paid for cancer.  for the sake of not ending on a sour note like that, it's up to the individual.

It makes sense. Look at those that drink too much alcohol and drive...or eat way too much.....we were made for a reason and should learn to live life by taking things easy and live in moderation.

Some people do not know they have a good life until ruined.\n\nThen there are some who might be too greedy to take a risk to have a better life and that bet went south.\n\nThen there are others who ruin their good (in other people's view as good) life when they might not be satisfied with their life.

Sometimes it is.  When you have nothing to lose, you become more liberated emotionally and spiritually.  We often create false dependencies on the things and people we think we possess.  If we knew what's truly important and what to let go of, I think we would live much richer lives.

Psychologist and philosopher William James said, "There is but one cause of human failure.  And that is man's lack of faith in his true self."\n\nMost of us, most of the time, are not living life as our 'true self'.  We worry about what others think.  We make choices and decisions not from the heart.  We spend too little time exploring and discovering who we really are and why we are here.\n\nA part of us always knows when we are not being true to ourself.  That voice may be expressing itself through the feeling of living life fraudulently.\n\nLearn to listen to and follow your heart.  Spend time every day being introspective.  Find your passion and pursue it.  Then your life will be fulfilled and without fraud.

Hold your head up. Someone in the world does not know what a computer is. Someone did not have a meal yesterday or today and worry about where their next meal would come from. As bad as you think things are, someone has it much worse than you do. The funny thing is that some of these people are actually happy. Money can't buy you joy or happiness, it comes from within. I am sure that you have qualities that some of the richest people in this world do not have and probaly never will. Write them down on a piece of paper and know that you are rich in many ways. Stop for a minute and think about what you have from how much worse things could have been and be happy for this. Hold your head up.

I think you make some interesting points - words definitely have limitations for the definer and the interpretter.  Its always a rhetoric game and only real thieves hide behind definitions to justify their actions.  As for morality - this is not a truth - it is a social norm - and each society determines what is or isn't moral based on their level of consciousness.  As long as we are trapped in words - we are limiting our consciousness.

I think its to multiply life... to make life more abundant... to help others... to just have an absolute joy in oneself... to succeed and learn from our past so we dont commit the same mistakes.
