Work so hard

Why do we work so hard as humans? I have never seen an animal stressed out about life. They get hungry and find something to eat. They get tired and go to sleep. Humans are different. We constantly fill our lives with various activities and work until we pass out from exhaustion. I guess not all humans act that way. There are people out there that really don't do much in life, but society labels these people as slackers or lazy.

I do several side jobs to help supplement my income. Do I really need the extra money? Would I survive if I didn't have that extra monthly work? I probably would. My lifestyle would be different, but I would find a way to survive and not live out on the street. So why do I take on these extra side jobs and stress my life out even more. I honestly think that maybe I should stop working these extra jobs.

Of course, reality kicks in that I have an expensive lifestyle. I am one of the few people out there that is addicted to modern convince. I love to camp or "rough it", but I also love my iPod, computer, TV, and Tivo. I love to get new electronics and cradle them at night. I like to feel the rush as I open the plastic to my new electronic gadget. Therefore, I know I can not easily drop my side jobs because they feed my addictions.

So what's a guy to do? Well, for starters I can bitch about it on the Internet.
