Balance of livehood

What is Standard? A level of quality or attainment. In the society we live in today tenders to provide it's standards. These is shown in the our daily life activities; which is so called or nicknamed "policies". Those of us that live in Abuja, Nigeria will agree with me that Abuja has a standard. And if you don't conform to such standard then, you will not fit in the society. That's called "standard of living".
But is that how life suppose to be? We are so busy improving our standard of living rather than our standard of life. What do I mean? Our standard of life, is the relationship we make with people. I'm not saying having a standard of living is bad, but we are so much focus on our standard of living and forget our love life, social life and that we have parents or spouses or children to care and give attention to, which money can not buy.
There's a way this two (standard of living and life) can be balanced. It's called time. Create time for work to met up with standard of living and also create time for keeping your relationship with others in check
