Society is too hedonistic

Nowadays, it feels like everything is either commercialized or sexualized, to satisfy any desire for pleasure you might have. Dating is like a race to get someone in bed, and friends are only welcome if they bring tangible benefits into your life. Doesn’t all this sadden anyone else apart from me? I know people have reasons for seeking pleasures, as do I, but I think we can safely say we’ve gone overboard with our pursuit of it. Man (and woman) doesn’t need much to be happy, and yet he (or she) lacks the basic requisites for it. We’ve replaced community and healthy relationships with casual sex, and meaningful work with a race to the top.
