The answer in one word: decadence.

We are victims of our own wealth -- as a society we've learned to live with it, and to value it, but not to produce it.

“The answer in one word: decadence.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Verily thou doest speak the truth. He who has a hut, a cow and a pig and is looking forward to adding some chickens is infinitely better off than one who has received wealth not of his own making and is engaged in steadily losing it through his own misunderstanding of reality.

Or, in other words, “It ain’t what you got, it’s how you feel about it.”
