  Yes.   Guess it is fame, money and power and even ego that make people going beyond simple life.

  everyone here wants luxurious life ....be it luxurious food....luxurious holiday..... or whatever.

  What I'm trying to say is.... its ok if the rich get to enjoy it everyday....maybe the not so rich can get to enjoy it once a week? or something to that effect. So long its not "smell only cannot touch".

  This one is a sensitive one.

  Christians - To be good and go to heaven.

  Buddhists - To be good and eventually be Buddha... or sumthing similar Im not knowledgeable with religion

  Taoists - To be good and.... you get my point

  Atheists - To live life and disappear.

  Therefore since all options above have only one similarity and that is to live life to the fullest. Concentrate on that and worry not about the after.

  My opinion :- Be a good person. It doesn't matter which god you believe in.... he/she will not look at you and go...wah piang eh you might be a good man...but why you never buy my book (bible, buddhist script or whatever). You go to hell. kthx.....bye

  Money to survive.

  If only it was that simple. If it is just money to survive why not be a monk?

  Everyone has aspirations.

  Be it an aspiration to succeed or an aspiration to provide for their kids....or whatever

  Without $ there will be no aspiration... as there will only be the aspiration to survive so yer pt on money to survive is correct. But all if not most aspirations require more $.
