All of us are being exploited- despite level of happiness with work.
People who can’t find work and are living on the streets get the sh*t end of everyone’s stick because “they didn’t work hard enough,” or “they’re junkies”- which is totally unfair to their circumstances.
Money forces people to be doing things that we don’t wanna be doing because we have to survive- which is bull because if it weren’t for private ownership, there would be a more equitable chance at living for everyone; not just for those who aren’t rich.
The need for money also forces people to have to work long hours away from other things that are necessary, but we’re lead to believe that sacrifice is the only way to maintain the things that are important to us- which I believe is true to an extent, but needing to sacrifice most of our time isn’t noble; it’s coercion- because those with money want our money and will therefore give us the means to live in exchange, but this hierarchy is arbitrary and needs to be dismantled.
The rise in mental illness is most likely a direct result of us living domestic lives and disregarding the fact that we need to take some time to ourselves and 2 weeks-1 month out of a year is clearly not doing anything to ease peoples’ minds and keep them satisfied.
