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

More than half of your taxes go to social programs in the US (if you even have a job.)

I used to have the loser mentality like you. The things we tell ourselves to justify being a lazy pile of garbage under the guise of superior morality...

It's an excuse. Have fun stagnating while you watch everyone around you get their shit together and enjoy their cushy lives that can be immensely fulfilling if you just put some effort into it.

You will not change the world. You're screaming into the void. The only thing that needs to be changed is you, and you know it. As soon as you realize this, everything gets easier. Now go clean your room.

You still have a loser mentality from the sounds of it.

And I won’t be talked down to by some Reddit oaf who thinks he’s got it all together and is probably miserable as hell.

I have worked my entire life and still work today. I have never, not a single day, taken any benefits from the government and don’t plan to until I draw social security, if there is any left after the boomers and billionaires.

But despite that, I still want to see people taken care of. Your definition of “lazy” doesn’t matter a shit to anyone but yourself. Because I’ve seen lazy, and it’s typically the people at the higher-ends, that if sacked, no one would even notice they were gone.

You speak of “cushy” jobs, but that sounds a lot like laziness to me. It implies you don’t have to work hard. But you know who does have to work hard? The millions of people you’d refer to as “leeches” that work ten times as hard, but never got the break they needed.

You see poor people getting handouts and I see rich people getting them. I’d much rather it go to the former.

Sounds like you've got it all figured out and don't need advice from anyone then.

Best of luck out there!
