Imagine if we all worked for good living for ourselves and others at the same time? How would that change the way we live, the jobs we do, the people we associate with, the schedules we live by, and the norms we practice and support?
We spend too much time as a people passively going along and fighting against unhappiness rather than truly working on our own and with others for greater happiness. We can do better. I know we can.
