More than Half of the life span of the human race is centred on making of money or wealth.
Making money legally or illegally, accumulating of wealth is the believe of most people in the world.
I stand to be corrected or cencitize
I don't agree with your last part. You are right that everybody spends most of his life working and making money, but this doesn't come from the desire to become rich. It's rather that money is necessary in our society, without it we couldn't pay rent or buy food. We all need money to survive. However there is a difference between having a good life and trying to become rich. If money would be our main goal in life then why do we take days off work, and why don't we have jobs on weekends? I believe that most of us strive for a good work life balance. Humans are not made to work 24/7, we need time with friends and family to regenerate our batteries. There are more important things in life than money.
In an ideal world it would have been like you described, and even in our not so perfect world many people live like this, but unfortunately not everybody. Very far from it, actually. There are many places in the world where people are working all the time without days off, and, as you rightly said, not to become rich, but just to have something to eat and wear, and to feed their kids.
Until very recently many Chinese IT companies were employing the so called "996 working hour system". It's when people work from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm, 6 days per week. It was deemed illegal by China's Supreme People's Court only on 27 August 2021.
