      They don’t, haven’t you ever met a trustafarian? They earned their money the old fashioned way, inheritance.

      Probably because most parents will only do it for them for so many years, then they expect the male child to grow up and make something of himself (or marry a rich woman)…………….

      Its not true…People who r borned in poverty have to struggle to earn their livelihood…other wealthy people enjoy their earnings…and reach different dimensions of life…

      because it isnt fair to the other person who earns his living to feed someone cable of earning a living.

      its the balance of hapiness. you could say you are happy cause you dont have to move a muscle and yet you enjoy the basics of life, but isnt it cooler if you earn your living there by not being a burden on other person who are earning there living.

      it is also part of being whole as a being. you try to use you abilities which will brings you more happiness as you discover you talents and reap the benefits of what you are enjoying to do…

      Fundamentally , like all animals we , too, are programmed to do a few things .That includes seeking fod , drink , shelter from aggression , procreation. Unlike animals , who when they meet opposition to these searches , move away and slowly perish man fights to get these . Man`s fight was , originally with the elements , the animals . Now with explosive population man had added a new set of adversaries … fellow men. This constant fight to retain this ability to get food, drink , shelter and partner is what is , broadly termed as "earning livelihood". No one can escape it. You are programmed . The degree varies . That is all. Bill gates works much more than me .

      Your question is quite deep in nature & u desrve credit to open it out.
      One thing that comes to my mind is, there is a principle of value addition underlying. We consume so many thing & we must replenish it.
      Another phylosophical thought is, let every one has a chance to contribute to the wealth of the world & avoid unbalance.
      Yet another notion is, live & let live.
      Anyway, good question once again,

      There is no such compulsion. You can simply live off others as beggars or choose a life of sanyasi and leave this materialistic world in pursuit of spiritual enlightenment. You can pick your option…you do have that freedom at least.

      Because they donot have a habit of grazing every day like other creatures ; because they are jelous of others belongings ; because they are lured to the endless desires which can never be fulfilled.
