Great Find Peregrinus This really resonates with me right now I haven't been able to focus on myself at all because of this very thing I'm going through right now.
You know my old saying, "Slavery was never abolished, it was only extended to include all the colors."
This is very relevant in America in my job I hear people everyday talking about how stressed they are, how little time theay have to anything outside of brushing their teeth and taking a shower.
Unfortunately there are times I can barely get this in myself thats how much I work.
But unlike the rest of these suckers I am finding ways to fade up out of this I want to experience life now while I'm still in my prime.
And what hurts is the steadily diminishing humanity of those fighting to hold jobs they don't want but fear the alternative worse. People simply empty out. They are bodies with fearful and obedient minds. The color leaves the eye. The voice becomes ugly. And the body. The hair. The fingernails. The shoes. Everything does.
This is quite painful actually but also very motivating I am saving up capital towards my freedom once I handle this other B.S. that needs my attention.
As a young man I could not believe that people could give their lives over to those conditions. As an old man, I still can't believe it. What do they do it for? Sex? TV? An automobile on monthly payments? Or children? Children who are just going to do the same things that they did?
You know what and this is why I'm in the position I am right now because I had no direction and I had no idea what I wanted to do. Like you Peregrinus there were things on a total gut level about all of this that just didn't sit right with me, unlike you I choose to ignore it and suffer. (except I have no kids
)
They never pay the slaves enough so they can get free, just enough so they can stay alive and come back to work.
I also agree to this my paychecks are just that enough to stay alive
To not to have entirely wasted one's life seems to be a worthy accomplishment, if only for myself.
I would agree to this if not for my recent changes, now I feel like this is all a game and I just need some patience and keep priorities straight and soon things will take off.
I will be reading this every week to keep it fresh in my head this article goes very well with my new signature
