We work for stuff and for holidays away from work. And in this, work and life in general, have become so abstract that it has lost all meaning and purpose. What meaning and purpose do exist, is merely a thin veil complete with sufficient flashing lights and loud noises to keep us entertained and distracted from life’s true reality. It is the product of a mind so desperate to justify and validate itself in the face of irrelevance and oppression, that it is willing to accept imprisonment as freedom. We are not free to work out of our curiosity and interest. We bind ourselves to meaningless work and this way of life. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/work-our-hegemonic-common-sense-larry-g-maguire
