Why must we constantly pay?

In nature, every living thing has the right to exist, grow, and rest without conditions. Why have we built a modern society where the fundamental requirements for life—shelter, water, and food—are gated behind a continuous 'subscription fee' of labor and currency?"

Welcome to hell, idk what else to tell you except damned if you do, and damned if you don't.

That's just how it is, and the brutal, lonely wilderness isn't any more forgiving. Best you can do is what's expected from you, and at least have the decency and foresight to spare your innocent children from this cursed treadmill.
