I whine and complain about my having to work 8 hours a day in a a/c office, yet fully knowing what my parents have gone through, is truly pathetic. I know people much older and wiser than I and yet still they have to work twice as much in less than ideal work environment to make less than what I make.... Granted "experience" and "knowledge" are what counts, but that answer does not satisfy my mind.

Working really does nothing for us except provide a path through the maze that we as a society have put in place. To quote something I heard in an art picture, "Society is a fraud so complete and venal that it demands to be destroyed beyond the power of memory to recall its existence."

Anyway, I consider work in the same definition as the Matrix pictures do: work is a means of control. We are put in a rat race with the illusion that something meaningful depends on our actions.
