When I worked in NYC and juggled the craziness of corporate life, I learned just how conditioned we've become to ignore our basic needs as I observed how my coworkers and I got rewarded for working inhuman hours.  I believe this type of pattern has impacted many in modern day society and think that this can have a detrimental affect on the mind and body.
