If you value playing with your children, or exercise, or cooking healthy food, or walking your dog, or late night conversations with your wife, or going to church, over the dollar, well then you just don't know the meaning of hard work. Unless you're willing to sacrifice family time, food choices, exercise, any form of relationship or leisure or hobby, then you aren't meritorious.
This is the boomer mindset.
This is what "worshipping mammon" looks like.
It is directly related to producing our current state of society. A nation of destroyed families, a nation of atheists and pseudo-christians, a nation where the average person is morbidly obese, a nation that can only judge "success" based on the GDP.
Reject this mindset. It is hollow and rotten and will lead you and your children to hell.
