The lie is that if you just hustle a little bit more or for a little longer, then you’ll be able to get out of whatever hole you’re in. But really the system is set up like you said to make it a lifestyle.
We need to stop attempts to normalize the system that requires grind/hustle lifestyle to exist
Most people are killing their selves being killed by said system, that demands third jobs and to share apartments because those at the top need another yacht.
People aren’t “work-a-holics.” They ain’t there because it’s their dream. They’re there because they need absurd amounts of money to survive in this neoliberal capitalist dystopia.
Those that say they rise and grind and love it are faking it til they make it. They’ll never make it, and will fake it to the grave.
I think both are true. I know plenty of people that take absolute undeniable pride in working 50-70 hour weeks every week and never taking a day off. It’s like their life’s defining characteristic.
I totally agree. corrolarily, I’m always thinking we should put the clouds under the rain, to use them as umbrellas, rather than over the rain because then the rain falls on us
Exactly, they’re sky sponges, we’ve mixed up where the rain and clouds go and now it’s some odd tradition to walk around in water when the clouds are right there, RIGHT there.
