Good points, the thread seems to have waxed philosophical and I enjoy the perspectives. The rat race is about self preservation. Good or bad, it's a fact we all think and act that way to a degree.

I think I will change my view as one who despises all the trappings of a complex world to Resistance is Futile: Just when you think your out, they drag you back in.

Quality of life and living is important to most everyone. That can mean different things to each one's perspective. I think the lott... [ More ]

I'm 24, in graduate school, and living off my dad's money while in college (I don't have an assistantship). However, I will start making my own money this fall when I start teaching.

It aint necessarily so, let's not forget the Greed Factor!! I personally know of a couple of friends and acquaintance that are very well of;

A rat race is a fierce competition to maintain or improve one's position in the workplace or social life. This term presumably alludes to the rat's desperate struggle for survival.

The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat.

Good point Todd.

It does stretch the imagination of the lottery discussion forum by lack of context.

The only context I can think of is the dream sold by lotteries to step aside of the Rat Race.

You have my vote to remove it (the thread). Thanks for the question, and keeping things in order here.

Does this have something to do with the lottery? If not, it should be a blog topic.
