>>50723637Life, especially in the west, has been increasingly commodified. Everything has to have a dollar value assigned to it, and anything that doesn't is not conducive to the system. People are now, more than ever, alienated from each other, and worst of all, alienated from themselves.
To stand in defiance of such a system, while foolish as it may be, brings it's own serenity. It's okay to pursue things that don't involve money or are not profitable. Get into painting. Backpack around world. Learn and instrument. Write that story that's been burning a hole in your mind. Enjoy your time, you are a human, not a worker ant.
