My teacher asked me today what I would like to do if money weren't an object. And I honestly dident know. Some say getting moneys the most important thing but if im doing something I dont like doing to continue doing things I don't like doing isn't that completely stupid?

Congratulations. You're literate!

Sometimes we have to do things we don't like in order to achieve a result we do like. After a while, however, we learn to live with it.

I like being involved with my family and seeking adventure. It's what I do right now, I just also happen to have a job that takes me on those adventures.

Unfortunately you have to sell your labour to survive in today's society, which has a pretty depressing effect on most people.


To answer your question, if I understand it correctly: people do things they don't like usually out of necessity (or perceived necessity)
