As with most things, there is a balance. You can't have everyone going about only doing what they "love" because some of the things that a given society needs would fall by the wayside.
And you can't have everyone slaving away to make a buck doing things they detest because that would result in a general unrest, people would be miserable and driven to desperation.
What is needed is a realization by every person that you should do what you love but also that you have an obligation to the society you live in to give back, to help out. People need to make the correlation that when you do something for someone else, it's the same as someone doing something for you.
i think what you're talking about, whatsup, is changing peoples values, which is an extremely difficult thing. Peoples values are an extension of who they are and until we can move past the self-centered perspective that a majority of us hold and understand the value of our commitment to our communities, they aren't going to be able to transcend the "values" that keep them from bettering society.Now, if you'll excuse me, i have to go sell some veggie burritos in the parking lot of a Dead concert
