Have your say: Are we overly pragmatic?

This week, we debate whether we have become too pragmatic in life – planning every minute detail of our life, trying to control our day-to-day activities with so much focus that we have lost sight of the bigger picture. Isn’t life about expecting the unexpected? Chasing dreams? Making unrealistic goals, in the hope of doing something unexpectedly fantastic? Where are the dreamers gone?

If you have an opinion on the topic, join us for a debate on the following statements:

• The world has overdone pragmatism and is refusing to live in today.

• Being overly practical is killing the innovative spirit.

• Planning every single detail of life and relationships is making people miserable.
