Comment on We need to stop attempts to normalize grind/hustle lifestyle
0x4E4F@infosec.pub 9 months agoLiving in world where you have to grind in order to make a comfortable living is wrong. The picture above just depicts what most of us are lacking in today’s world. And I think everyone feels the consiquences, just can’t pinpoint the problem. The system is the problem. We’re not meant to live like this.

The picture above is 3 beings without jobs living in a cave with handmade furniture.
I am quite certain you can do that without grinding. Problem is, that’s a really shitty way to live in real life. Pooh can’t event afford pants.

You’re taking things way too litelarly in the image. The point is, not everything revolves around money. And there is nothing wrong with hand made furniture, at least they learned a thing or two by making it. It does the job, not everything has to be new and shiny. There is nothing wrong with recycling stuff or putting old things to better/new use.
And cold/hot can’t be depected in an image, maybe they just got wet in the rain and arebtrying to warm themselves up with blankets and a hot tea. That is how people used to warm themselves up, I still do that on a cold day, as I said, there is nothing wrong with that. Not everyone has to have an AC or a space heater.

Very serious question: have you ever, as an adult, lived in poverty?
Because I have, and I found absolutely nothing noble in it.

I didn’t mean it like that, I meant it as in it doesn’t take much to make you happy. You don’t need to be rich to enjoy life.
