Recently, in my experiences, people who actively limit/don't participate in the perception of prosperity being tied to these "western" (or w.e) values carve paths that lead to their own interpretations. I like to work at being one of those people. So I guess my answer is no, but its a challenge.
I think everyone has their own perception of "prosperity" which is why I phrased in like that. For some, a better paying job might be defined as prosperity and therefore the question could be asked: "Would you accept a job with a nice financial/status raise even if it required you to do work that you found to be against your core values?" For others, a more prosperous life would be spending twice as much time with family. "Would you accept a job with the same pay/status where you would only be in the office 30hrs/week even if it required you to do work that your found to be against your core values?" I've been thinking about it and I think a lot of my personal stance ends up at really horrible questions: 1. Can I shift the blame enough off myself to still be okay with my life? ie: if I'm just a girl doing my job, part of a team, not actually making decisions, I'm not really responsible, right? For $50k? No. For $100k? For a job I only had to work 3 months of the year? Hm...is there a line? 2. If I get caught, will I be in a shit situation / jail? Will it ever cause others to look down on me? 3. Who suffers at my hands? (ties back to number one - how much "my hands" are truly involved) - is it the environment? People I know? Future generations? Other companies? Enemies? Etc. Does that affect the invisible line of when I would sacrifice values? That's when my thought circles back around to other things that I personally define as "prosperous" and it begins again. Seriously, I feel icky thinking about this.
