Way of life
Every one has its peculiar way of life, the way different of all other ways, though people of the same century are people of the same foundations and ideas and so their ways of life has a lot in common. It is zeitgeist that conditions way of life common for people of certain century. The foundations we have, the hopes we have, the desires we have and a number of other mental stuff is our way of life.
There were times when people cared less about being the fastest, the greatest and the best known. There were times when people only wanted to have their families and they were living with those families. Men were working to provide their wives and kids with all necessary stuff and women were keepers of hearth and home. They never cared about business and competitions.
Though, time flies and things change. Nowadays men and women are together in that race for well0fares, fame, career and other material welfares. There are a few men who managed to keep their manly features provided them with nature. And there are also a few women who managed to keep their female features. There are no people today; there are only dragging'-machines.
People take part in endless race for something. Actually, they don't even know what they are racing for. They only know they have to race or otherwise other people will say that they are losers. We are dragging-machines but our constructors forgot to provide us with brakes. We have no brakes and so we are not able to stop and look around and think about what we are racing for. We just follow other races.
