Red Queen and modern society

I think a lot about the Red Queen, my lifestyle, and society as a whole.  Why do we keep chasing rather than enjoying?  We don't need most of what we have, and we spend so much of our time and energy supporting all that stuff.

The problem is, how do you get off the ride without slamming into a wall or creating casualties.  Some of the stuff I work to support is stuff my family either needs or thinks it needs.  And getting off the ride sounds good on my laptop, in my comfy chair, in my four bedroom, five bath house.  How do you get off, once you've gotten on?

Why do humans strive for more?
