| Topic | Working for a living sucks. |

As long as we have the bare minimum necessities covered, it's then just a matter of entertaining yourself until you die. Unless you get entertainment out of slaving away and fantasizing about some future that you don't exist in yet, and possibly won't at all, and definitely will not after a certain amount of time, then life really starts to suck at this point. It's up to the person. If you want something more out of life, you work towards that. When you're satisfied, you stop working. It's as simple as that. Building enough capital will let you achieve the key "stop working" part. Living off the land will have you working until death. If that's what makes you happy, go for it. Tauros posted... I'm not making any assumptions about you, I'm not talking about you directly. Just the system in general. Of course, I enjoy getting what i want, too. But is it ever enough? All the nice little trinkets in the world are never enough to completely satisfy. But that's not to say I don't enjoy these trinkets. They're definitely fun to fiddle with from time to time. You're definitely making assumptions about someone. Again, it's up to each individual to decide for themselves what's really important to them. If they decide they want short-lived, expensive thrills that'll keep them on the work treadmill for the rest of their lives, that's their prerogative. Building up a retirement fund does not contribute to an endless treadmill, in fact it's the opposite. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
