Nobody on the Star Trek fictional crew works for a living or gets paid. Nobody puts in a timesheet or picks up a paycheck in this visionary world…

The idea of doing what you want to do and being supported in that pursuit seems like the way things should be. After all, the bees do not pay the flowers for the nectar, and the flowers do not pay the sun for the radiant energy. So, why should any of us have to do anything that we don’t want to do just to earn a living…

This is what happens on Star Trek and with every living creature on Earth – except humans.

We chase after money in pursuit of happiness only to find ourselves stuck in a job we dislike at best. Then, we wonder why we feel so unfulfilled and when we will finally be satisfied.
