The mythology of work

Eight myths that keep your eyes on the clock and your nose to the grindstone:


- work is necessary;
- work is productive;
- work creates wealth;
- you need to work to make a living;
- work is a path to fulfillment;
- work instills initiative;
- work provides security;
- work teaches responsibility.


"Let´s be clear about this - critiquing work doesn´t mean rejecting labor, effort, ambition, or commitment. It doesn´t mean demanding that everything be fun and easy. Fighting against the forces that compel uso to work is hard work. Laziness is not the alternative to work, though it might be a byproduct of it.


The bottom line is simple: all of us deserve to make the most of our potential as we see fit, to be the masters of our own destinies. Being forced to sell these things away to survive is tragic and humiliating. WE DON´T HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS."
