First, many of us feel unfulfilled; just ask any single parent, in many areas of our lives. Part of this is due to the limitations our culture imposes upon us.
Our institutions; government, education, finance, etc. are part of our culture. And they can become bearish brutes about "conforming to policy." So they refuse to change, and punish those who challenge the status quo ("the way we do things") or represent healthy change; whistle blowers, prophets, or true alphas (not the punitive bullies), by giving them negative labels like troublemaker, Satan, terrorist, heathen, atheist, traitor, etc.
Many of the large private businesses which exist today received financial backing from our government. Or they were able to patent the results of government funded research. Rather than pay the government/taxpaying public a return on our initial investment, the corporations are adding insult to injury by refusing to pay fair taxes on their financial earnings (offshore tax havens).
If any of us wish to feel more fulfilled in our lives; not to mention leaving a healthier planet with abundant resources for our kids, then it is very important that we reflect on our "culture" and all that it contains.
Long story short: Everything cultural is made by humans; not handed to us by any gods. That's just a power play to usurp physical wealth from the simple masses who refuse to think about more than either Keeping Up With The Kardashians; where a guy wants to become a woman while keeping his penis, or 19 Kids and Counting; where God tells them to have more kids than they can healthfully take care of while ignoring incest & molestation.
When you're dead, you're dead; no amusement parks after Earth. So keep on ignoring natural resources; your grandkids won't be singing praises to your name, they'll be cursing you for not doing something more than praying when you had the chance.
