Work Reform

This is just my experience. I enjoy that the effort I have to give goes to doing something I find rewarding on a self-actualizing level. I live in a capitalist system, I have to make money to live in it. But the pay is secondary as long as I can meet my basic needs. It’s be cool if I could self-actualize in other areas of my life/desires without having to sacrifice that to take a “pay-cut” to do a job I love, and I’ll keep fighting for that, but this is the point in history I’m living. We realize the system prioritizes the idea that more time/effort investment now pays out in income early, then you can spend your waiting years doing whatever you want. It doesn’t acknowledge that no one knows if they’ll live long enough to get there, or what the economy will be if/when you do. I might live to 100, I might die tomorrow. I could try and find a job that would earn enough tomorrow to finance the idea I spend the last 40yrs of my life living without having to “work”. But I’d rather spend my days doing what I enjoy doing covering my basic needs until the day I die, whenever that comes, than both resenting what I’m doing and only doing it in the hope someday I never had to do it and lived carefree, knowing I could easily die without ever self-actualizing. Live the reality you want to live while making due with the reality you’re forced to endure, but don’t live shit for one that might never come no matter how hard you sacrifice your now for.

The value of money and the future aren’t real, only the time you have moment to moment are; use it the best you can and hopefully your choices result in actual reward.
