It seems that people want to earn more, even though they cannot consume it or use it. (1) The scientists believe that this is because we can measure how much we earn, but we cannot measure how “happy” we are (or how much unhappy we become when we work more and more for things we do not need).

Really?

If you work less and spend time with your family doesn’t that amount to something you can understand and measure?

This is one hour more with your son you idiot!
These are two hours more with your daughter you fool!
These are three hours with your wife you… #@@#@$#@!

Need I count more?
