Modern Slavery
I don’t currently work but as my studies are coming to a finish that is probably going to change in the near future (I have however worked in fast food which probably explains the negative view I have). But as adults work takes up a huge part of our lives.. what do we get out of dedicating so much of our time to this?
Using my keen observation skills I have noticed this thing:
“Work generally makes people unhappy”
Now you can do work that makes you happy, it’s not impossible, but generally work sucks.
With 24 hours in a day, if I spend 8 sleeping that leaves me 16 hours of conscious time (That’s Math), then if I spend another 8 hours (Out of 16) working, that means that HALF of my [conscious] time is spent unhappy.
Weekends and 4 weeks holiday leave does not make up for that fact.
Solution: Work doing something you love or don’t work at all.. Although that is probably easier said than done.
