That's because you are now dependent on these companies and hence they control your lives. Your life revolves around them. The balance is how these companies define it. Its sad. Don't get me wrong. Not all greed is bad. Greed is the reason why we have so many wonderful things these days. However, this also brings bad greed. Look at what is going on with this sub-prime mess in US. Lives are destroyed by these unscruplous people who took advantage of innocent people through predatory lending practices. Or CEO that tell outright lies and destroy the company and yet walk away with millions while company staff, through no fault of their own, are left laid-off. These same people that worked long hours, gave up much of their home lives to help this company are now jobless thanks to the practices of their top management, who have left to retire to their 20 bedroom mansions.
