So many good points in this post. I generally enjoy most if not all of what you write (and that I have time to read) but this one felt like it was on another level somehow. Addiction is something I have experience with so maybe that's why. Anyway:
Ever heard of someone trying not to make more money?
What if their job is to cure cancer?
Money doesn't buy happiness, but is anyone happy they are poor?
Top-notch observations. Maybe you should write a self-help book ;)
