Hi! I congratulate you for getting out of the boss-employee vicious circle. I think that many humans had the experience of enslaving through labour. Working is noble and there is nothing wrong in providing a service to people. But being paid poorly or treated like a slave is disrespectful and inhumane. It takes a lot of courage, backed up by suffering, in order to say : no more.
Can you remember the moment when you finally decided to take a leap of faith and free yourself? What was the main motivation behind it?
This enslavement pandemic is worse than any disease. It is invisible. It kills the spirit. It crushes the joy of living. Every time I hear a person telling how they barely get out of bed hating to go to work, having a visceral reaction of fear, exhaustion, panic, despair, every time this makes me ponder and analyise where we are at as a species. Something is wrong in the ecosystem if so many individuals suffer from depression, chronic fatigue, illness because of the work they do. It makes you question the sanity of the collective population. It is disturbing. I often wonder what would superior creatures think of us looking back from space, seeing how much suffering is on this Planet for a currency we call money....
Anyway, sleep is vital. Cutting back on sleep to make a living is a trap. Because winning money with the cost of getting ill is a sure way of not making it until the end, where the "you finally retire and enjoy life" candy stick awaits. It is a no brainer to liberate oneself, but exhausted overworked fearful minds can no longer see this. I hope that there will be a change, humans deserve so much more
You couldn't have said it better. Right now I have a best friend who can't stand going to her job because they exploit her, treat her badly and don't pay her well. On top of that they want her to work overtime. They don't leave her alone, she can't even eat in peace. Every day she tells me that she is tired, that she can't take it anymore, that she doesn't know how much longer she can go. Thank you for your words and I also hope that we improve as humanity, we deserve a better world. Keep sharing your reflections because they are great. Greetings ♥!
Your friend is not in a good situation. She is aware of it. Until she takes action the situation won't change. I have been in that place of complaining to friends about A or B. But only me can make a change. Complaining is good if it is followed by action, otherwise it is just an extension of suffering. You can't tell your friend what to do, but you can support her in the decision of changing her life if she wants. Usually people make a change when the suffering becomes unbearable, when health crumbles, when illness appears. I hope that your friend won't wait until then, it would be a pity. Life is full of oportunities. We can always change
Blessings and have a splendid day🤗
