Why do we focus solely on this one aspect of life?

    It’s a hard question to ask. I’d rather pin down why it’s essential then ask why it’s deemed the only thing that is essential.

      it’s essential then ask why it’s deemed the only thing that is essential.

      This is a very blanket statement and going to need a source here.

          No not really.

          Buddhist scripture believes in achieving enlightenment, yogi aim for inner peace, all sorts of subgroups and cultures like indigenous people put family first.

          You’re not providing a source to where this is truth, so it seems like you’re putting this pressure on yourself. And you need to dig into yourself why YOU believe currency is all that matters.

            Even if I were “putting pressure on myself” your inclination is that I’m the one who has deemed money the most essential thus providing you with your sought out evidence. Now kind sir, I say good day.

              That’s fair.

              Hope you discover other alternatives because there’s a wide world/groups of people out there that don’t believe money is the sole focus of life.
