that in American culture we are so hell-bent on keeping up our pace and hurrying through all of life until we die and have nothing to look back on except whether or not we met our deadlines?
We live to work instead of working to live. I long for the latter. With my major and the more I learn and research capitalism and globalization, the ways in which the world is quickly spinning, the more sickened I become with this country and the things that are commonly valued within this culture-the more disenchanted I am with the prospect of spending my entire life here...
I have been thinking very seriously lately of moving to Britain or Australia or somewhere else, anywhere I can find a better paced life, one that emphasizes living, instead of taking away from it. I long to break free of the fast-paced, back-breaking culture by which I am currently surrounded.
