RANT ABOUT
ALL THE 'La La Land'
INSPIRATIONAL WORK ETHIC RUBISH!
.
.
.
.
HOW often have we see these "Inspirational" talks, Meme or Videos telling us that,
.
.
"Life is far too short of precious to be spending most of it doing a job we hate!"
.
.
Acting as if most people have a choice!
.
Maybe they have a background and resources that allow him to be that "Idealistic", But in the real world of food banks and fuel poverty, such a vision comes across as slightly immature and 'entitled'!
.
This is great advice for those with a public school education but seems a bit more "La La Land" for those of us that live in the real world of greyness and grimness!
.
.
Most people live lives of quiet desperation,
Not aspiration!
Not aspiration!
.
.
Then when you attack such "up your own arse middle-class absurdity" you get responses such as,
.
.
"We all have a choice,"
.
.
"Your life is what you make it,"
.
.
.
Or part of a direct quote from one nameless individual,
.
.
"Choice is ours to use. I don't get your point because that kid in the video is right. It's not being idealistic like you say. He is speaking truth mostly everyone in the world works all the way to 65 only to retire and start enjoying life when its almost over for them. Instead of enjoying life as you go in something you like to do and people you enjoy being with. Don't waste your life working."
.
.
Mmmm. Interesting.....!
.
.
And how could such a society function exactly?
.
A lovely world where people only have to do creative challenging care that they all “enjoy,”
.
The quick answer is “It could not!!
.
Very few can indulge in the heavenly luxury of a creative challenging Career.
(Note: “Career” as opposed to “job”).
.
Those of you that come back for your mentally challenging legal office Or you creatively challenging ad agency can wax lyrical about your “Office Hell” and the dream of “making life more worthwhile” without ever truly realising how lucky you really are!
.
No one wants to be stuck in a dead-end job that numbs the brain and grinds your soul down to ash.
.
But we have the values and integrity to grit our collective teeth and do it.
.
But without Us “Drones” in your world, the rest of your lives as you know it would not be able to function or exist!
.
And the very people that will claim I am just spouting negative crap are the first to want to penalise those who rebel and try and escape the reality of the system by refusing to conform and do these vital “Drone” jobs!
.
We are damned “if we do”, and equally damned “if we don’t”!
.
We are dammed as being taken for granted if “We do”
AND THEN
Dammed As "a lazy dole sponging underclass" if “We don’t”
AND THEN
Dammed As "a lazy dole sponging underclass" if “We don’t”
.
.
I am in no way saying that people should rebel and not work.
But I am saying that you should not take us fellow humans stuck in out quietly desperate work lives for granted!
But I am saying that you should not take us fellow humans stuck in out quietly desperate work lives for granted!
.
.
We are choosing to do what is right rather than be vicious skutter ‘Villians’ or ‘Criminals’ who are misguidedly hero-worshipped by the broken-spirited neighbours of our shared run-down communities!
.
.
We are also creative, sparkling, charming and gifted with a spark of the divine also.
.
.
We also feel the same depth of love for our children just as much as the professional artist, lawyer and doctor do.
.
.
We are your fellow human beings!
.
.
We are people NOT things!
.
.
Yes, there are plenty of talented successful people that come from such backgrounds, that you happily point out as fine examples of those who have made “A choice” to make their lives better.
But something can only be ‘noteworthy” if they are an exception to the underlying reality!
But something can only be ‘noteworthy” if they are an exception to the underlying reality!
The very fact that such people are worthy of mention, proves and highlights that the barriers exist!
.
.
I will now sit here and wait for one of you to destroy my point by pointing out a spelling error or some bad grammar rather than 'the meat' of the argument.
.
.
These mistakes will happen because I am largely self-taught, and I try my best in spite of my shortcomings!
.
.
And when one of you do that,
(And one of you definitely will do that, either publicly or privately)
Then, ask yourselves what additional point that proves, and what additional evidence that is providing, to support this view!
