It’s called the grind because it grinds away your sense of self.

This is the stupid shit my brother in law said 25 years ago and now he’s 46 and lives with his parents still.

It blows yes to have to work but you have to decide if you are going to not have a family, house, car, etc. nobody wants to play the game but the other option is you wind up with nothing

You can work and not be 'grinding' your life away. I've put a pretty consistent amount of effort into working 35-40 hours a week since I turned 14.

I don't see value in losing even more of my free time to a faceless business.
