This post regards the following:
Life- not to mention work and mundane tasks- can feel obsolete during times of intense suffering. In our modern world, however, we have quite the conundrum: in order to sustain our individual survival, there is only one viable way for most people to do so, yet that pathway to survival itself sustains the wars ravaging our world today, keeping us suffering as a greater humanity, and making life feel obsolete. So we are stuck in a system that forces us to work, and uses our work against us. Though most people going to work every day in order to sustain their families do not support the reasons our leaders take us to war, our corporate jobs pay to keep the wars raging; by remaining productive in the corporate arena, we are being used by the war-mongers to fund wars, and we have no say. So what to do? Should we all quit our jobs and starve to death? Should we turn a blind eye to the greater effects our work has on the world, opting to simply bring home our paychecks and hope for the best? Something else? Well, we sure do not have all the answers, but in this episode of Our Evening Tea, we will be discussing this conundrum from as many angles as we can attack this issue from.
