Most people at one point in their life get that unfamiliar sting, that dark and overwhelming feeling, supported by many people around them. It mostly happens around age 18-20, sometimes after college. It’s called “Grow up and get a job”.

And therein lies a trap. THE trap, HUGE trap, the huge worldwide illusion that we fucking fell for since the beginning of the 20th century. Ever since you’re young and still stupid, parents, teachers, fucking random pedophile old men on the street, ask you who do you want to be when you grow up, and by that they mean what job you want to do. After the whole “job” talk they mostly just leave you saying something along the lines “If you want it very much and you’re ready to work for it, it will happen”. Well, guess what. No it fucking doesn’t happen. At least for majority of people. But let’s get back to that strange feeling. Ok, so it happened and you hate that feeling, so what do you do? “Easy stupid, get a job, you moron.” “Ok, so I got a job, what now?” “Well….. you gotta work it, till you die.” “Wait a second…. what the fuck do you mean? Where’s the time to live, experience, and be happy?” “Well it’s either in the 15 minute break from work you’re legally obliged to have, or after work.” “After work? I go to work at 9 a.m., I get off at 9 p.m.” “Everybody does this kiddo, so should you.”

Generally from that point there’s 3 basic ways this can go next:

If you’re stupid or don’t give a fuck, you slave away till retirement unless they lose your pension along the way or you die from exhaustion in your mid 40s

You’re smart and don’t want to be someone’s bitch, then you quit and you find something that you can turn into a business and you’re rich. Congratulations, that’s the happy ending.

You’re smart and don’t want to be someone’s bitch, then you quit but instead of getting rich, you fail and live on the street. ( That’s the bad ending, if you didn’t notice).

Ok, so the last one is not so much worse from the first one but still..

The question I ask myself all the time is this: How the fuck did we let the world got this way? Who thought that this is a good system?

You came up with nothing? Yeah, me too. The best one I can come up with is that people are fucking dumb.

By the way the whole article, except for this ending paragraph, has exactly 420 words, so “Yeah, we made it”. It was not intended to be a full fledged opinion piece, since my opinion on this thing is constantly shifting, so it’s just a piece of my mind.
