To what end... labor?
Everytime I see that little squirrel in Ice Age chasing his chestnut and then doing everything to protect it, including shunning love and running after it across the ages, I am reminded about how we are as human beings.
Some of us make it our life’s mission to get something, the more obvious of it are material things – money, jewelry, real estate, a way of life.
And then we make a showcase of what we have. We parade that we have so much – like the jewelry and Louis Vuittons in the arms of women, parties in our lavish homes or summer houses, feeding ourselves in expensive restaurants, shopping.
Then the story turns something short of horrible.
