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Today's outdated labor for income system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.
