RE: Mysteries of Life: Time, Tasks and the Ways We Avoid Working
Hi @steemfluencer, thanks for the visit and the support!
I definitely think about happiness while working, but I also recognize that this happiness is a consequence of doing things that feel engaging and meaningful; happiness itself was not the original objective.
I mostly brought the holidays into the picture as yet another example of how we end up viewing something that could be enjoyable and fun through a lens of perception that feels more like obligation.
A lot of people will vigorously defend the capitalistic system, but they often do so with blinders on. Capitalism can be a great thing, but like all ideologies it has its weaknesses... one of which is this thing called "investors." Because investor interests tend to be put ahead of the well-being of the company itself, the cogs in the wheel that make everything work in the first place tend to become dehumanized... and that becomes demoralizing after a while.
Well said @denmarkguy!
This is a huge topic and I already collected enough thoughts about a new publication.
I believe that the misinterpret perception of what a Holiday has various origins.
Investors' interest is leading to a certain way of leading organizations which inevitably leads to dissapointments that transform in dreams about days free of work..
And of course, it's not only capitalism.
In my opinion all Ideologies are an incredible collection that represent the human weaknesses.
A creative mind inside a human that is often not aware of who he is and why he is here often tends to glorifying his own ideas that almost always if not always result in hurting both supporters and enemies of the concrete ideology.
It might be a funny thing to observe from above if you live on the moon for example, or in Antarctida as a scientist OR if you just know yourself better at a degree that can help you determine the nature of the thoughts and cut the bad fruits from the very beginning.
Enjoy another beautiful winter week! Good night!
