To work or not work, that is the question...
I'm not going to quote dude Shakespeare more than this, though his words was so deep, that we can with his play write every political scandal till now. One more reason how hollow we accepted our destiny, but my thoughts today were toward something else. Few day back i get my eyes on something called "why not working 3 days a week" and would like to express my point about it.
I'm sure that all working population would grab Mr. Carlos Slim's idea and Mr. Richard Branson's blog refined with his own vision, with both hands wide open. It's kind of normal since we're humans, who are taking those opportunities blindly, aren't we? Sure it is, it's the same as 500€ on the floor, which we saw and grab them as quick we can, hoping no one sees us and claiming for it. We do this kind of stupidity very frequently, by buying lotto, buying things we don't need, playing stupid level marketing games and and... And then again, where is the difference about this idea? It will be sponsored by wealthy people, who will exploit our labor and then makes us spend our money, which will be called quality time with family. Wow, great turnaround in our desperate lives - we could have more time to spend money in the facilities of the same group of those "humanitarians". Really something what we will call quality time.
Don't get me wrong, the idea it self has potential, what does bothers me about it, is point long time ago said by dud William "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark..." and i smell the rotten here also, but on the other hand, how come that's some born and raised in capitalism now try to become a communist. Perverse, isn't? I could take someone who was turned around from communist to capitalist, because money through advertising can do that, but in opposite way, i don't think so. Believe me, in ex Yugoslavia i saw, how people turning their beliefs, 24 years ago. We made real evolution step forward, becoming greedy of things and in the same time give up on humanity, shame on us. But that's another story or maybe i'm being too young to tell.
My point to the idea of three days working week is, the same as evolution step from one system to the other, and i'm not saying that was wrong, but in my opinion, we have to more evolutes as a human species. All those how plays us as marionettes should first gives an example by giving away their wealth, treat us as equals and if they still have the need to do this, then they'll have to teach us how to live a life by not spend it on stupidity. I won't be needing branded clothes, three cars, 300m2 house, summer house, 2,5 times more food that a can eat, to become that person, if i want to be changed. I might say, we all know right from wrong, but still making mistakes, like we don't have any education, any confidence, or we got no ego on our own. Sorry but, that's who we are, little stupid herd of sheeps. beeeebebebbeeee
