HURRY UP K DOG

I mean I agree but unless you really got a passion to try to change things or your current situation is too much to continue how it is, I'd prefer to not be a doomer and nihilist and get as much enjoyment out of my life while I'm here, my family is my priority at this time in my life.

Its not like OP is working 20 hrs a day in factory, he got an office job, it cant be THAT bad. And if it is, try to find something else or work towards the change you want in the world.

Definitely but there's a lot of BULLSHYT office jobs that basically have no positive benefit to society at all or are actually even actively harmful

And even the s***ty labor that needs to be done can be made less s***ty as well

But anyway im a changed man and wont derail this to capitalism vs communism

@Gabrieljesus i see ppl in the deepest of trenches at my 9-5 (homeless shelter) so the monotony of it just does not hit me in a negative way. yeah it's the same client files being entered into the same online portal and the same reports being ran for the same programs again and again and again but I see just how blessed I am to be IN that monotony

it puts it all in to perspective for my 30 year old ass

and besides at work I also exercise, read, study, journal, and listen to new music (there's so much good new music out there bro)

the framing of your situation holds so much power over your happiness. so much.

and like Lisa said, you have some degree sof control over said situation. not only do you control your perspective but you also control parts of the situation itself.

since you said you spend 40% of your day somewhere you hate I'd focus on that, either through your perspective or through your actions in the physical world ie dust off the resume

Nail on the head.

It’s the monotony, that’s the correlation with age

I can’t be distracted by the same things I was in my youth because I’ve done them before

Monotony IS depressing
