Any culture tells you how to live your one and only life: to wit as everyone else does. Probably most cultures prize‚ as ours rightly does‚ making a contribution by working hard at work that you love; being in the know‚ and intelligent; gathering a surplus; and loving your family above all‚ and your dog‚ your boat‚ bird-watching.
