so many of us get caught up in things that aren't important (money, power, possessions, status) and before you know it, you're dead and haven't experienced life's pleasures at all. It's the simple stuff that's important. We tend to figure this stuff out when we get old, and then it's a lesson learned too late.

It's a big problem in the US, where capitalism drives us to have both parents work full time, not just to survive, but to keep up with the affluent. Europeans have a better perspective, probably because of their long history.
