I Hate My Job
I have come to realise over the last few years how accurate this idea is. First I am not opposed to work. Joyful work is a positive, uplifting experience. When you do something you like then you get satisfaction.
Work as it is to most of us is not the same. We work to get money, or have social interaction. A lot of people like their jobs, but just ask who wants to go to work on a cold monday morning at 6am? That is a good indicator of how much we like our jobs.
You see we've been told to like our jobs. Careers advice at school is all focused on getting a job, being a responsible member of society. My god that is a scarily and deceitful use of the word responsible! Is it responsible to be a wage-slave? Is it really? Is it responsible to put up with a bully of a boss? Or bad pay? Or work that makes you dead inside? I don't see accepting any of those as responsible.
I hate my job. I hate the place I work for. I hate the work I do which I see as totally pointless. I hate having to drive to work in traffic and I hate society telling me I have to do this so I tick their morality box.
I read that all this idea of work and career came with the protestants. The Catholics were apparently much more relaxed and certainly more wary about working all the time. The Protestants turned this around, fed up as they were with the Catholic corruption. Well, as far as I am concerned they are both as bad as one another. They are both responsible for this mess and this continuation of evil that now the new religion of science can represent.
Society would have us enslaved. The (biased) media are quick to talk about slackers, dosers, dolies, those that claim benefits but do not want to work. Many workers are so brainwashed that they cannot see an alternative. "You need to earn a living" they say. "Why? I didn't choose to be born." I respond. Or, "what else would you do?" The answer is whatever I want. "It's good to have a job, it would be awful without one" was the paraphrase from a dr of psychology at a stress course I attended some time back. I took a deep breath and sighed, with this kind of brainwashing it seems to be very hard to make people wake up and realise that actually this is a very new experience for humanity and it is the cause of a hell of a lot of evil in the world: suicide and death being the major ends, lack of family life, stress, alcohol and drug use as a way to deal, anti-depressants, consumerism as a pick me up.
There needs to be a shift in our attitude to work and please don't feed your children with the same junk ideas that you have been given. Tell them that it is a big fat LIE!
