<p>First of all, my bold statement at the beginning was clearly a hypothetical, exaggerated so that you might actually begin to understand/ accept a counterpoint to your “all motivations are equal” stance, which you stubbornly hold. Of course, such sophistication can hardly be expected to be understood or recognized by anyone on this site, and it was unfortunate that I forgot to temper my language as if talking to a 5th grader - my apologies.</p>
<p>And I gave you several good reasons already.</p>
<p>But I don’t care what your life’s goal is. Go chase around collecting bottle caps for all I care. I was trying to warn others that the pursuit of money may prove a fruitless and ultimately unfulfilling (even superficially) choice. If you disagree, well then, carry on. Hell, tons of other people are pursuing money anyway. Go for it.</p>
