    I enjoy working because I’m not lazy. Hard work pays off and makes me feel complete.

      If humans weren’t lazy (get more with less) we’d still be smashing sticks and stones. Laziness and creativity are inherent to the human development. If the only focus was working hard and it’d pay off the poor fella cleaning the Dhaka sewage would be a billionaire. Surprising that on the face of so much evidence to the contrary the gospel of work hard and get salvation is still a thing.

      Sorry mate but I just don’t believe you. You’re either being dishonest or coming from a narrow perspective. Maybe you just find fulfillment in the mere idea of being productive but most people likely don’t share that outlook. Working hard at [insert local supermarket chain or big box store] just isn’t fulfilling unless it’s somehow directly related to one’s passion.

      Bull shit. No one enjoys being exploited. You’re essentially a slave unless you own your own business.

        You’re a slave if you mindlessly watch YouTube etc. etc. cause it grows their business. Working for a company, you are paid to live your life on the side, and you can invest this to build your dream life. Working hard for companies warrants you a promotion, increasing this money. I can start a business.
