I recognize that work of one sort or another is as essential to survival as protein... I have compassion for those making the most of their commute and their cubicle; I just wish they could be a little less cheerful about it.
In one paragraph work is described as necessary, and then complains that people are happy doing it? How dare we be content with our lives?...
- kmill 9y agoI think the point is that most commute+cubicle work isn't usually work which is essential to survival. The call to be a little less cheerful is a call for everyone to see through the illusion that commute+cubicle is meaningful, essential work. We might find a greater contentment if we aren't filling what could be idle time with nonessential work.
