"Humans like to work; in most of the world, your work is your identity."
Humans like to have a purpose, to feel they are needed, hat creates their identity in turn. A fine balance of control takes place within these relationships. As in the perfect example of Van Gogh, who does what he wants but gets no financial reward for it...no one can say his happiness was any less than others; although it may have been less frequent, it may have been all the greater for the time it lasted.
The real problem is that 'in doing what you want'. Wether it be DJ, graphic design, writing, filmmaking...there are others you have to satisfy. In that, there will always be a point in which you have to compromsise yourself in order to satisfy that someone. Hence we call it WORK, ARBEIT. The word itself ellicites a negative connotation - of almost self-sacrifice for that someone/something greater. a JESUS like act! how sweet...the fact is most people are so busy doing their part they have no time to look at the ladder as a whole, they are simply stunk on their step; trying to get to the next one.
As the American dream has come to preoccupy the world - anyone can be what they want if they put their mind and skill to it.
Exactly this I do not believe in - thi falsification of reality is what continues to cause social and psychological problems which continue to go untreated. Either too many people want to be important, or too many people simply do not like people, yet are forced to. Either way, it's a system - a system that works, for a few, for those who control it...everyone else is, and will remain, a dreaming arbeiter.
Alrighty then, die sonne scheint auch in NY und die Menschen werden
liebeslustig. ;) Sigrid kommt heute Aben zu besuch. Wir gehen Moregen zur Opra und treffen uns mit Lucas und CO am Samstag. Es wird ein lustiges Wochenede.
Just getting some stress off my chest...come visit anytime! The city is wild with life...
