I look at it from the perspective of balance. and balance for each individual will look different and change throughout different stages of our lives. Some of us like what we do, get compensated well and prefer to spend most of our time "working" because it's what we enjoy and would honestly be doing in our free time (eg some silicon valley folks). Some people hate or are indifferent towards what they do, and prefer to spend most of their time doing any number of things not related to work. Both of these are fine so long as the individual is truly free to choose what they want, is compensated appropriately, and can change their mind about what they want at any point. No one should be ashamed for working fewer hours and no one should be exalted for working more hours. You are not a better person because you work more and you are not a lesser person because you work less. We should have a society where people are truly free to pick and change their lifestyle to explore and discover what truly makes them happy and fulfilled. What makes someone joyfully or fulfilled is going to look drastically different for everyone and change throughout one's lifetime.

“The white slave had taken from him by indirection what the black slave had taken from him directly and without ceremony. Both were plundered, and by the same plunderers. The slave was robbed by his master of all his earnings, above what was required for his bare physical necessities, and the white laboring man was robbed by the slave system, of the just results of his labor, because he was flung into competition with a class of laborers who worked without wages. The slaveholders blinded them to this competition by keeping alive their prejudice against the slaves as men--not against them as slaves.” “To enslave men, successfully and safely, it is necessary to have their minds occupied with thoughts and aspirations short of the liberty of which they are deprived.

Many workers (especially essential workers) are also being expected to work harder than ever while risking their safety, but without any additional compensation or accommodations.

Only recently I recognized that my years of "productivity" was was unnecessary. I'm able to manage my health and have what I need. The depression lingers, but slowly I'm excepting the fact that it's actually a good thing to work less and to say FU to those who want to make people feel guilty for not killing themselves. While you're young, recognized that the hustle culture is dangerous not admirable. It's work-a-holism. It's dangerous like substance abuse. It ruins your health and in the long run, you will either not be a success or too sick to enjoy your success. Do what you need to do no more than that. But learn the difference between need and want.

I am so glad more and more media channels are addressing this phenomenon. I honestly find it absolutely depressing that the best life we can aspire to in our society is one where we're barely meeting our needs and maybe certain wants by working ourselves to the bone even in our free time...we are basically living to work instead of working to live and the saddest part is that people are proud of how busy and overworked they are, like having no time to enjoy the real pleasures in life - like spending time with loved ones or having a hobby just for the sake of it ( without having to turn it into another stream of income) - is something to be proud of. I feel very hopeless about where our society is heading in regards to our work culture in the west, it seems that the only people who are aware and tired of this way of living just decide to quit the big cities and move to the country or go for radical lifestyles like the "van life" movement, and even though I find this a bit too extreme sometimes, people who do it, do it because there's no alternative, there's no way they can afford to live in the city and enjoy its perks if they don't "hustle" themselves to death...why can't we find a middle ground? if everyone could understand how precious and short life is we could all push for changes like a 4 day work week and welfare programs that allow us to live in a society without the constant fear of easily falling through the cracks, but people still take so much pride in their work, not for in the meaning or value they are contributing to society through it, but just for the sake of being busy or having certain status within their little social bubble. We need to wake up from this nonsense and start moving towards a life where we pursue our own wellbeing, creativity, and self-fulfillment instead of just money and status.

There was a time when this was definitely my mentality. I never took days off, never hung out with friends. neglected important relationships and my own mental and psychical health because suffering is okay as long as it's in the context of grinding. All I ended up with was damaged romantic, familial, and friend relationships, some of which never recover, health issues, and ton of burnout. The gains I made did not do nearly enough to make up for the losses. Also seeing people get further ahead just because they come from money or have well off parents puts all the suffering into perspective. Even knowing all that, it's still hard for me at times to divorce myself from that mentality, it's just so ingrained in the culture, especially as a minority where hard work and sacrifice are really put in high regard as the only legitimate way to get ahead and overcome your circumstances. Working hard for stuff is not a bad thing but it should not be the only thing in your life. And working hard does not mean you have to deprive yourself of all good things that make you happy.

"If machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed. Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution. So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with technology driving ever-increasing inequality." ― Stephen Hawking, 2015 Reddit AMA "I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals." ― Albert Einstein, Why Socialism?

It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian Darwinian theory he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors.

I was brought up in an old Irish-Catholic Wake-up-before-the-butt-crack-of-dawn-to-go-to-work sort of people. Work was God. If you weren't bleedin' you weren't workin'. If you weren't workin' you weren't livin'. In more metropolitan areas where we are surrounded by technology and infrastructure, it's easy to find work in or for a big business. I recently was unemployed for 3 months but knew I'd find work again. It was keeping that job that worried me. Job security is a thing of the past because I think there are so many people the big corporations can just dispose of and exchange for new fresh workers. It's only exacerbated by those workers who believe more in "the hustle" and don't even know what they're hustling for. They're just glad to be working. The only theory I have is back in the America of the 1800s, I can see why hustle culture is a thing because when you're out on the frontier with no civilization around you, no Starbucks, Miccy Ds or Wally Worlds around to hire you so you can keep the lights on, you don't have a choice but to hustle just to build the walls that make up your home. SURVIVAL WAS THE HUSTLE. I think something of that mentality is still with us today but it doesn't really apply anymore because of big businesses like the ones mentioned before because everything, including land itself has already been bought and sold and bought again for more and more and more money. No matter how hard I seem to work, I found myself struggling to find a reason to WANT TO SURVIVE at all if I can't focus on MY OWN HUSTLE if I don't have to time, place or money to do it. If survival, or more to the point, being just another disposable cog in someone else's machine is all I can hope for in this modern climate, the hustle isn't worth it.

No one's telling you to work multiple jobs, that's your own stupidity and lack of ingenuity at work. Hustle culture is about producing results from work, not blindly toiling away at tasks with no reward value. Instead of juggling multiple jobs, how about you take some of your free-time to learn a high-income skill such as digital marketing, copywriting, or SEO? Better than complaining in KZbin comments, that's for sure. After you learn one of these skills, market them to fledgling businesses that require your service; and watch your retainer of clients fill up within the following months. By the end of the year, you could legitimately be pulling in a six figure income if you have the ability. But you won't, will you? And for no other fault than your own.

I think part of the remedy to solving why we can't stop working so much is to ask ourselves what we're working for. Enough to survive is one thing. But how much of it is luxury, keeping up with the Kardashians and social media flexers. How much is "needing" the newest garbage that's constantly being advertized to us as the path to happiness? I worry a lot of our influences (especially "influencers") do not have our best interests in mind and if we can recognize and avoid that, we can find happiness in the time we're not working.

I was miserable, and so many people told me to suck it up, push myself, and it’ll pay off ……in like five years …….eventually I said eff that, stopped school, and focused on my hobbies I’m so much happier and more confident than I have ever been.
