We're blessed with these big brains, yet we waste all that intellect on stupid concepts that we take for granted. All I can think of is that almost the entire Human population, is bamboozled by the manipulated religion of Statism (Belief in State.) We're snookered into believing that life should be about indentured servitude. We wake up in a house, that we rent from a bank, get in a car we rent also, and drive to work, where we work our butts off for someone else who profits from our labors..... So we can pay for the house and car!!! here's a quote from a Japanese master on the concept of work.
Maybe the fish is better off.
“I do not particularly like the word 'work.' Human beings are the only animals who have to work, and I think that is the most ridiculous thing in the world. Other animals make their livings by living, but people work like crazy, thinking that they have to in order to stay alive. The bigger the job, the greater the challenge, the more wonderful they think it is. It would be good to give up that way of thinking and live an easy, comfortable life with plenty of free time. I think that the way animals live in the tropics, stepping outside in the morning and evening to see if there is something to eat, and taking a long nap in the afternoon, must be a wonderful life. For human beings, a life of such simplicity would be possible if one worked to produce directly his daily necessities. In such a life, work is not work as people generally think of it, but simply doing what needs to be done.”
― Masanobu Fukuoka, The One-Straw Revolution
Thank you for your comment i've learned something in that. :)
Having big brains make our life complicated.
We worked in order to live but we forget to live in order to work.
We forgot to enjoy living. We forgot to enjoy our life.
We work hard not only to live simply but also we want to have luxurious life. We work to buy things we need. We work to buy the things we want.
We will only live once in this world that's why we wanted to have the things that will make us feel better.
We set our minds that to get what we wanted or in order to do the things we like we need to work hard for it.
We never learned how to be contented. We are greedy in many things like in wealth, power, knowledge and many more.
But let's don't forget that aside from brains we have heart that were given so that we still remember that we are alive.
As long as our hearts are beating and we are happy on what we are doing we are living.
We live not only to work but for others too. Its not about how hard but how we enjoy what we are doing. We think not only the profit but the way we touch lives of others.
We are complicated we are happy even though we struggles.
If we are not complicated may be we are not human anymore.
