Workism Makes People Miserable & Workcels unpleasant to suffer
ever notice how Workcels are unpleasant to suffer? I am talking about those chaps who LOVE to pridefully complain about how hard their workday was, how many hours they work each day/week and so on....no matter what you say they will TOP it......"I had a bad/long day" Workcel: " You think your day was.....(goes on to TOP your day)"....and these Workcels wouldn't have it any other way! Before LOCKDOWN they all complained "I wish I had time to Read Books, Exercise, and so on" but then during LOCKDOWN they complained how bored they were and couldn't wait to get back to their work-wives/husbands and TOIL
but for more NOBLE natured people, THIS is the TRUTH:
"Workism Is Making Americans Miserable
For the college-educated elite, work has morphed into a religious identity—promising transcendence and community, but failing to deliver.
In his 1930 essay “Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren,” the economist John Maynard Keynes predicted a 15-hour workweek in the 21st century, creating the equivalent of a five-day weekend. “For the first time since his creation man will be faced with his real, his permanent problem,” Keynes wrote, “how to occupy the leisure.”
This became a popular view. In a 1957 article in The New York Times, the writer Erik Barnouw predicted that, as work became easier, our identity would be defined by our hobbies"-----
