Fk, I never thought THiS would need explanation. Someone, little slave, mined iron ore, another little mute slave made a vehicle you drive today, from that ore. Someone is standing watch at power plant, also slave, to keep lights in your home.
So what usefulness do IG 'models' or 'influencer' have? Money is just a means to barter without needing other items, I'm not trading a horse for groceries, we use money instead.

I have to admit, my career path has a list of accomplishments I am trying to make that gives me purpose but in reality it really doesn't benefit me as a person. I'm working to live, but I'm living to work.

Here is what's kind of fukd up and has me worried. I have worked very hard and it's taken a long time to get where I have come. I am what I dreamed of being a long time ago. Younger me would be very proud of me. However now that I've accomplished that goal it's been anti-climatic to say the least, now feeling lost trying to find the next step. Sometimes I look at my dog and see how she's living for the moment. She may only live 10-14 years but will probably live as much as I will when it comes down to it.

Been watching youtube channels where these guys are hitching rides on trains. They aren't hurting anyone, not really doing anything really, except living life.

And yet absolutely none of this would be needed if humans lived in their true natural state. One with nature and living in the moment, feeling content as can be.

Most were meant to be slaves boyo

Funniest part about today's clown world is, they get a sense of accomplishment from being a slave.
