Quote by Yuval Noah Harari
English (Source)
How many recent graduates take demanding jobs at big companies, vowing to work so hard that by the time they're 35 they'll make enough money to retire and finally do what they really care about? Then, by the time they reach that age, they have huge mortgages, send their kids to school, live in a family home that requires at least two cars per family, and feel that life is not worth living without good wine and expensive foreign vacations. What should they do, go back and dig roots? No, they redouble their efforts and continue to robotize. One of the iron laws of history is that sooner or later luxury will become a basic need, which entails new obligations. Once people get used to a certain luxury, they take it for granted. They start counting on him. Eventually, they reach a point where they can no longer live without it.
