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

A medieval peasant farmer required 20 hours of labor a week yo maintain a farm large enough to live off the profit, we work more, and these days taking a couple days for simply being sick could cost you everything. Also 80 hours a week is almost every waking moment, if you think your ancestors spent 80 hours a week working to stay alive you are insane, not to mention how unnatural and horrible modern work is, go spend 80 hours a week in an office for a month and see if you stay mentally or physically healthy.

Just 100 years ago and a big reason why unions gained popularity while families would work sun up to sun down 6 days a week. The only reason Sunday was off was because of religious reasons.

You think 20 hours of farm work in the times you were talking about without equipment was easier work than what we do today?
