DAILY HUSTLE By Seb
It seems like the modern world traps most people in a self-centered bubble.
Everyone's too busy keeping their head above water
that they can't see beyond their own economic struggle.
How can you care or help someone in trouble,
if you yourself are stuck
in capitalism's ruthless everyday hustle?
For most humans the market has made it impossible to survive
without submitting to the rules of the rat race.
Deviate don't play or revolt
and you will most likely be ostracized, neglected and put in place.
Working most of your life for some corporation or business like a slave
probably has a lot to do with school family
and society Indoctrinating you on how it is you should behave.
Our predatory world consists of a whole lot of sharp elbows,
most people fight about who's got the most expensive house,
the fastest car and the shiniest clothes.
That's it. Clothes and shows
seem to be all the average person really knows.
Science, technology and critical thinking
are simply made irrelevant to the masses I suppose.
But I know it's difficult to think critically,
if you're in an environment that rewards ignorance
and also messes you up physically.
Our daily lives are strongly influenced by social pressure and our economic circumstances.
Hence, even when someone wants changed they rarely risk or can afford to take any serious stances.
So like rats shoved into a train, the daily hustle continues
forcing most to play today's ruthless
and consumeristic everyday game.
But that's not how it must be.
Through education and by looking at our problems from a structural point of view
You might be able to see that it is possible to create a new system
that surpasses this daily hustle of "You vs. Me"
of "Them vs. Us", of division, materialism and coldness;
of most people's daily monotony,
of the psychological suppression that comes with working for someone or something you don't believe in
for most of your life.
Today's outdated labor for income system in our polluted and disconnected society
is not working any longer
Most of today's jobs are completely unnecessary
and a part of an old and unsustainable economic system.
A system that hasn't always been around
and will certainly disappear one way or another.
One way could be by re-engineering it into one that fits our technological potential
and the wisdom that we are all in this together
as one big species.
There is no need for subservience, exploitation, financial pressure, competitive behavior
and most of our problems today
in a technologically advanced world of abundance.
