If you understand the way things are right now is broken, you should understand that you ALWAYS have a choice to stop being cynical, fight for your freedom and fight for what's right.
I wasn't ONLY talking about reddit in this post a while back. https://lemmy.world/post/858027
Choose to be creative. Choose to be sincere. Choose to be a human again.
Unfortunately I choose to eat
See, there is the cynical reddit one liner again.
You have made the choice to resign yourself to despair instead of fighting for your freedom from the reddit within. I can't make that choice for you, none of us can, but I do hope that you will change your mind one day.
Look to be fair I am self employed and always have been, but even so, today I don't feel like going to work at all, I am totally exhausted. I am going though - because if I don't go, I won't have stock for the end of the week and customers come from a fair distance to see me, and if I don't have what they want they will be pissed, and my business will go to shit.
We are all prisoners of work.
We are all prisoners of the unfair system of this absurd world, but I'm hoping that one day, we will all be free.
I'm asking you to not give up on hope. It's not too late yet, my friend.
