Is it just me, or is our society grinding many of us into exhaustion, depression, and hopelessness while forcing us to find any sort of rest, pleasure, or distraction that we can just to get us through the day and the next after that and the one after that, etc.? A society where workloads are too heavy because it's not profitable enough if we have enough people to actually do the job. A society with rents and mortgages many of us can't afford. A society where more of our taxes go towards the military and weapons of war that kill the workers and poor of other countries than to housing or feeding those in need at home. A society where the rich are getting richer and shooting themselves into space while everyone else struggles more and more to make ends meet, making us fight each other for the scraps left over. A society where we wake up each day dreading the commute and having to spend the majority of our waking hours trying to earn a wage rather than spending them with our family and friends and enjoy the amazing world we're born into. Is it just me who wakes up every day tired, beaten, and wishing for something better for all of us but only has the time and energy to heat up dinner in the microwave and watch a couple of episodes of a murder documentary before going to bed to do it all over again tomorrow? Am I the only one who truly believes it could be better than it is if we actually had a voice and choice and this reality wasn't dictated for us by those who benefit from it the most, sitting on their thrones of money, power, and privilege
