[QUOTE="Rob Banks, post: 1251230, member: 12046"] I'm not saying we all should take vows of poverty and practice strict asceticism. If you happen to be blesses with money, comfort, or whatever, then it is OK to enjoy it responsibly (and use it to benefit your family and community). It is just that in our current culture, especially in America, all anyone wants is "nice things." Men are willing to work hard for years, and their motivation is not that they want to provide for their family, live a stable life, and give back to their community. Their motivation is that they want status, "nice" things, and "beautiful" women (where "beautiful" is defined solely by a woman's outwardly appearance and her ability to cause envy in other men).
