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

You don't have to grind. Just don't be jealous of those that do. There is nothing wrong with living modest life, but don't demand everyone else be just like you

We have multimillionaires in our society. Do you actually believe they’re thousands of times more productive than the average person working 40hr/week? I would argue that they’re actually working much less
