It's not "today"... there have never been systems in place that didn't abuse some people. But that's where I'd point out that the systems we have now are the least abusive systems we've come up with.
I'm aware. Though that may be true I still find us at unacceptable levels.
Of course its your burden to bear... who else's would it be? The vast majority of people across the vast majority of time have hated their jobs, if they were even lucky enough to have one. This idea that you have to "love" your job is just so bizare. It's called "work" for a reason.
Not only do I disagree, but there are people working right now to prove that idea wrong. Humans love to work. Play actually is work. Great read right here.
But reality is the ultimate game…
Indeed! Which is the entire premise of the book. :D
