Looking at "Success" from a Different Perspective

Success, what a powerful word that is. People eagers, wants, and tries to reach it. In today's world, success is generally measured by statistics. Boy, don't we like numbers. We are driven to get more and more. More points from the exams, more money, more people to like us, more...

Why did we become such egoistic creatures? What went wrong in evolution that we still want more almost about anything. Even as a child we wanted all the toys in the world. We "grew up" and now, its all about seeing more numbers everywhere. "You know i'm earning 7 figures-a-year." type of people, so proud of their, so called, achievements in life. Hell, i'd do the same.

Thinking deeply, i wonder, why do we made success so important in our lives. Individually, people may become so successful that they became blind in the end. Everything transforms to "their" world and they forget what is real and what is created by their own "ego".

How do we measure success is my question to you all. People may take Nobel Prizes for their own work, but we forgot about the real mess every culture created. Humanity polluted this world, with their twisted minds, so a child dies in Africa every three seconds, while some "successful" person is earning 6-7 figures a year by his/her amazing contribution to "humanity".

Looking at the broader picture, we failed in a lot of aspects, not as individuals, but as a whole. Hope remains for the humanity.

Peace.
