the whole game

we spend our whole lives working, working towards that one goal. making lots of money and having a family. i don't really understand why. when you achieve all that you just become old, face sickness and life ends. seems really unfair. instead of enjoying life throughout, we waste it. we end up alone, mentally exhausted waiting to die in rooms that we barely know. why? why do we spend all of this time focusing on the material of money, killing ourselves for the best career neglecting the important stuff that make us happier just so we can pay off our debt faster or buy a brand new car. why not instead travel the 7 great seas, spend the weekends in bed with the person we love, or waste our time singing at the top of our lungs in the middle of the street with the people that make us laugh the hardest. instead we set our alarm clocks, drive to that ever so important career for 50 somewhat years, and then "retire", which ultimately in my opinion is just a more flattering word for waiting to die. why? why waste our life? for what?
