full-time is for suckers

FYI: Full time work is a sucker's game*









*40 hours is not long enough to be so miserable as to rise up against it, yet just long enough and restricting enough that your life revolves around work and you never have enough time to really think about the actual quality of your life. You know things such as intellectual, social and philosophical pursuits that may just make you realize how abhorrent and complacent you have become in accepting a system such as this being the pinnacle result of 5000 years of civilization. I'm sure this is what our forefathers foresaw when they made strides in science, technology and thought. That their descendants would work in a cage without physical exertion but sedentary mental strain, would sleep far less than them, be impervious to weather; working in rain and snow and never seeing the sun, have their time and duties regulated so efficiently as to make an ant colony want to streamline, and to slave into old age to pursue a dream that was as easy to our ancestors as walking 100 metres down the road and cutting a days worth of trees; a plot of land around our home with a fence (hopefully white picket) to demarcate as our own and plant a little garden for wholesome food to grow. Today, only Tim Hortons and Wal-Mart seem to find the task of building homes quickly on ample plots of land easy. Yes, what a Brave New World we Nineteen Eighty-Fourers have grown into.
