Is it really worth it?

I'm honestly in the worst mood ever. I was supposed to be at the cottage right now but instead I'm here getting ready for work and missing out on one of the best weekends of summer for a job that I don't even like at all. I honestly wonder why we enslave ourselves to jobs that we really don't want to be doing just for money, I know money does run the world and all that but there are so many other things in life that can be enjoyed without the need and greed for money. I just wish I could quite my job, move away to a house in the woods or a farm somewhere far and just enjoy life as it is, without all the complications that we put upon ourselves. Is it just me or would life be much more simple if things went back to the way they used to be when things were merely 5 cents? I know it sounds insane and all but we're the ones who put "value" on things, before we roamed the earth as "intelligent human beings" there was no such thing as value and wealth, these things were never important, we're the ones who chose to  impose them into our conscious as being important and a very significant priority. I know I'm just one person complaining but I don't know why it's such a hard concept to grasp? People are so full of themselves and their material world that the simple things in life don't seem to matter whatsoever. It's honestly really sad and pathetic I'd say but it's ok as long as there are good ones out there there's always a possibility for a better world one day.
