    That’s fine, but from my perspective our society just takes advantage of that kind of good will.

    And the oligarchs that own major major media and inform curriculum from K-Colleges of economics push that “the dignity of work is it’s own reward” propaganda specificity because it makes profitable bargains as workers.

    They exercise no such good will when deciding to “curtail redundancies” on the employees that made them their money for scraps.

    I get it though. It’s easier to focus on the work in front of you. I fixate on the ultimate purpose, the “why.”

      you can find work or create work that feels like it serves a greater purpose, though i admit it is hard to find and often comes with a heap of bullshit on the side.

      that said, i think “taking care of myself” can be worthy purpose enough.
