it's all bigger, faster, stronger, harder,an obsession with spiralling excess. According to them, if you don't live up to it, you're a failure, and if you don't want to, you're a loser (because "obviously" everyone wants it really so if you say you don't you're just playing sour grapes). Well, fuck that. They're the losers, if you ask me. They're the ones living in Hell.

This was the attitude expressed in a book I picked up once.It made me cross. The really annoying thing about it, though, is that it was essentially right. You do have to be that kind of soulless freak to be "successful" as society today defines it. Except it didn't make me think I was wrong. It made me think society was wrong.

Yeah,I kind of agree with it too. If you are single minded enough to only have one goal then it works fine, I personally have many things I like to do, and have seen enough of life to know that that approach is not what I want.
