America's "you too" culture

Most Americans are happy not to take the conversation beyond "you too". Everybody is busy in their work and trying to make money. Everybody seems to be super driven to succeed materialistically. Do they really find peace and happiness in all this can be questionable. But at least the system has united people in the pursuit of money. And this keeps the tensions among people to a minimum. Whereas in other societies of the world, there are primitive people still fighting over which god is the true god. In America, we can do away with that fight, which still seems evolutionary to me.

The problem - if one may think of that as a problem - is that in America people have compartmentalized their lives too much. A typical thinking of a typical American is like this -"This is work, and I should not mix with people here." These are my co-workers first and human beings later, attitude. This has made the quality of day to day living so poor. That you wonder what the ultimate goal of life is for these people.

Everybody in America have their little plans to make a lot of money. That is the holy grail of American way of life. That gives you access to women, wealth and big and or fast things - Big house, Big cars etc etc. The bigger the better. This phenomenon of bigness is not confined to the desire to want to own big things. Everything in America is big. If you go the superstore you get surprised by the bigness of the produce, though the food does not taste as good as it does in the old world countries that still use old methods. The size has replaced the soul of everything in the U.S. if I may be allowed to put it this way.
