Gain the whole world?

by cw Email

For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his very soul?

Why is it we seek and we strive so hard to attain; wealth, fame, fortune, status, success? Is it because we really don't know what actually has value, or is it because we really DON'T WANT TO KNOW?

This is something that I have been contemplating lately. And I'm throwing it open to all you armchair philosophers out there!
