I took the week of Thanksgiving of, so I turned my alarm off… Had to turn it back on before bed today… And that stirred up so many thoughts. (Below a conversation with a … Magic something….)
Is it our destiny to work? Probably, life is sustained through action.
But is my action necessary for sustained life? Well… No… You took a week off without consequence and life continued.
Well, do I posess the skills for frontier life or (rapidly approaching) post-apocolypse? Well… Maybe… You work in IT. There may be some value in your skills to wire electricity or radioes but you'd need a benefactor doing the important stuff like food and survival.
So, if food, water, shelter, and clothing are important what is my current role? You are in the quality of life profession. You make the homepage work, you make it easier to sell stuff. But don't feel bad most jobs are this. Most jobs don't produce anything they are there to make living easier. Being alive is easy and hard… Humans need 4 things to live but without the quality of life professions it's hard to gather the will to continue such a meaningless endeavor.
(Back to me)
Not sure why I posted that, other than I have a job I really enjoy but still hate working…
