Conveniences, automation, safety plans, etc. Everyone loves winging it and having piles of chores, but then they complain about life being hard, but then they don’t change anything

    The answer is simple. Propaganda. For probably thousands of years, religions have preached that hard work and sacrifice are virtues. They of course only pay off in the next life.

      May Christian cults go so far as to believe that your after life is set in stone before you are even born, yet that being happy is evil and you shouldn’t do it even if you are not gonna go to heaven for it.

      Every day I curse out every religious leader I know of. I tell them to strike me down with lightning or a tree. Every day.

      I still never got hit by a tree or lightning.

        But like… why? Isn’t that a waste of time, something you hold dear? That gives these religious leaders a lot of power over you, for you to practically be praying to every one of them, every day, probably spending more time praying than actual religious people are…

        Unless you’re just saying you do, to look edgy on the internet…? But who would do that…

          It IS a waste of time so I do it while getting dressed, just cursing out religious leaders as I throw on sweatpants and an Amazon branded hoodie to head out for work. This way no time is wasted. I find it funny and it boosts my mood for the day.
