Indeed. Having to earn lots of money and working really hard is something that the system has pushed (or tried to push) into our brains since a very early age. But in reality, it means nothing at all. What is meaningful and will make you happy is giving to others and spending your time doing so. Now giving can be a lot of things... it can be giving someone a tool to make their life easier, it can be helping someone cross the street, it can be visiting your family, etc.
If you make it to an age of 80 or 90 and look back, you will feel a lot happier and accomplished if you did a lot of those things in the time you had on this planet. On the other hand, if you look back at your life and all you've done was being a part of a meaningless money generating machine, I'm pretty sure you'll feel really miserable. Unless, of course, you are psychopath (like a lot of people in corporate seem to be).
