America can be a hard place to live in for the un-ambitious. So much stress is put on success, big, glamorous success. Anti drug ads even show people who stay 'clean' becoming executives or ballerinas. How about accounting clerks, or even sewer workers? Wouldn't that be good enough for us? Staying off drugs, working for a living, owning a home and raising a family? Does one HAVE to be rich and famous to even feel beyond shame?
Be all you can be, give it all you have, etc, etc.
Why not give your work part of your all and your family and friends part of your all, your hobbiesand interests part, and so on? Is that such a bad life? Don't we NEED everyday workers to do all the un-glamorous jobs? Can we afford to make them feel like failures?
I think this is just more conservative propaganda designed to make everyone not rich feel inadequate and pump up those at the top even more.
American will start getting on the right track when we start rejecting this thinking.
