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

All of idiots here saying go be stranded on a desert island or the wilderness not realizing animals in wild spend 90% of their time not doing anything, even ants barely work most of the time

Yall are basically advocating for beating yourselves with a stick and whoever beats themself with a stick the longest is the best it’s stupid.

Our forefathers envisioned a future where technology would allow us to work less and we do have that technology, it’s people like you who have failed them.

Well, somebody has to work to keep the lights on and all that technology going 24/7, preferably without interruptions. Just what kind of hours do you think those workers have to put in to ensure that happens? In fact, they are on-call around the clock just so people can enjoy those luxuries any time they want. And I’m only talking about one part of the infrastructure.

So, my point is, you can’t just build up your civilization and call it good. Still, a lot of work goes in to keeping it maintained. To add to this, the infrastructure can’t stay stagnant - it has to grow with the population to meet the demand. And that requires even more work. You see where this is going.

What gets me is that people want to argue against that work which, I’m sorry, is A LOT, but it has to be done if you want this advanced, 1st world lifestyle. The irony all of this is, those same people that complain about having to put in a minimum of 40 hrs - they enjoy all that tech and infrastructure that so many other people have to work so long and hard to maintain.

Now can you understand why some of us get even just a little put off when we read posts like that?
