Mouthwashing: When You Hate Your Life

[@PerilousYM]

This was a great video. I especially like the analysis on Jimmy’s relationship with his job. While some people may find their jobs completely fulfilling, I think many of us don’t. The game of life has kinda been structured as a competition by dead people thousands of years before us, so it seems we often have no choice but to compete. Which is kinda sad, since it pushes the idea that happiness is obtained through climbing the ladder, and that a good job equates to a good life, rather than engaging in activities we find personally fulfilling outside of our work

@@PerilousYM yeah. And if kind of hammers it home when you see whatever relationship these guys have to the company, it really gave them nothing of value other than the paycheck (if that) when it dissolves but has taken up a large portion of their lives.

Of note: It’s also kind of important that the job itself is one funded by a predatory company that provides no sense of quality of life, value or enrichment. Most people only spend 8 hours at their jobs, this was a dedicated full year. While the cycle of “get up, go to work, watch TV, go to sleep, repeat” is referenced, the idea of a job consuming a man’s life is more literal here. Similar to other sailing/long term shipment jobs, it consumes your life, in a sense.
