I would disagree with that. Of course I should still "bother" to make the world around me better, I still "bother" with solidarity. Even if it's just so I can enjoy my own luck freely, and be open when I meet new people. The less corpses I have in my basement, the less corners I cut because "fuck you got mine", the more free I am. The more free I am, the quicker and better I develop. Also, unused muscles atrophy, unused mental and social "muscles" do as well, and the primary reward for being in shape is being in shape, it just feels better than being out of shape.
- pm90 8y agoIf a system is working for you as you expect it to, you understandably have no real motivation to change it. That is the only point of that statement. If you're concerned that your coworkers in the same company or in other companies are not being treated fairly by the system and want to help in changing it, sure, you can do that. But that's usually not the strongest force for change in these things. In fact, the better compensated and happy workers would want to ensure the continuity of this system that treats them so well.
- PavlovsCat 8y agoSo in summary, I say I disagree and give my personal reasons for me personally disagreeing, and you give me permission to have them and act on them, and then reiterate what "most" people feel, as if I didn't know that, as if that wasn't the basis for me commenting in the first place.
