Work is for losers

After the last few posts I am starting to see where my innocent posts are wandering over to heavy duty rants. So tonight I will start out with how much I don't like work and ending up probably saying how stupid communism is. When I say I don't like work I don't just mean my current job, I mean all work in general. I am ready for retirement at the age of 22 and have spent lots of time trying to figure a way to do it, but haven't yet. It's kind of like the reverse fountain of youth, but I don't wanna be old yet just in status perhaps. I mean money is lovely to have and as it is essential to surviving in life so I need it, but the way in which I have to gain the money is most unpleasant. Now I may say this in a tainted light because I have minimal work experience and am not doing something I love or enjoy at the moment so that could be a factor, but I don't think that is it. Work grinds the soul out of people; Monday morning brings dreams and thoughts for Friday night for most or whatever day of the week work ends for the others. Our dreams aren't stellar or advanced in thought they are just hanging out and relaxing with friends and family. Shopping and eating are always on the agenda, for me at least. I think we appreciate relaxing more when we have work or school to try us for a while. When I have mass quantities of time off I thoroughly enjoy late nights and sleeping in with just goofing off in between, but I do eventually get bored of doing nothing. So we have decided that we need to work because of money for food, shelter, and entertainment and sometimes to combat boredom, but other than that not joy or pleasure is gained.
Work is important though because it is what drives industry and innovation, without work, jobs or an industry in which to apply our trades and skills there would be no new technology or great advancements. There are necessities and wants that are fulfilled through work, for example somebody wants a blanket to keep warm well you need cotton so you find a way to gather cotton and process there is a job industry right there and then to ship it to different places that make various products with cotton or any resource so two more industries are created so it is quite simple how jobs are created and within that reason for why jobs are created is the essence of why they are important in the extrinsic sense. Also as much as I bitch and complain about working nothing pisses me off more than those who do not work, now I am not talking about those who cannot physically or mentally work or have been laid off or going through hard times, I mean those who abuse and use the system by taking a ride on the good 'ole taxpayers back.
Now I have not been paying taxes for too long, but even before I did I had an issue with it. Welfare is a great system for those who legitimately need it, but many abuse it. They are the ones I take issue with; it just proves to me again that while living life correctly and legitimately is the good way of doing things, but is difficult. Maybe not hard on a day to day basis, but people who take care of their families and obligations do what they have to in order to provide. Those who don't care and leech off the system take the path of least resistance which is sidestep responsibility and let others take over for them while being awash in ignorance and incapability. Take for example the people who wait all day the bus depot in Bangor, they have the motivation to go hang out with their other lazy friends all day like it is their job instead of actually getting a job and becoming a useful member of society. Does this happen? No, because they do not offer anything to any field other than possibly cleaning up trash or maybe flipping hamburgers that is if they can find the time between drugs, promiscuous relationships with possibly several bastard children, and hanging out at the bus depot trying to accomplish both of the aforementioned activities. It frustrated me to no end to see this on a daily basis, such useless people. It doesn't matter what job you do, if you are working at a job you are a better person for it. For those of who don't believe in class systems they are completely nuts, it is partially a social construct, but there is much more to be said about human nature. People by themselves will separate into classes built on intellect and ability, there will always be stratification the humans. We can't help ourselves think of it as massive cliques in a global high school, it is going to happen don't kid yourself. It would be beautiful if we could have world love and peace and equality, but it is not going to happen merelyon the fact of human nature forget about external causes. Anyway, I will wrap this up by saying that work sucks, but it is a necessary evil. Enjoy!
