Thank you for sharing. Years ago I realized most of us are either toiling away at work for something we don't care about to profit someone we don't know, or being blocked from the resources they need to tap into their unique potential (whether that's food security, education, etc). It became somewhat of an obsession. I couldn't stop thinking about how many brilliant, colorful individuals are out there with their unique talents being left off to the side, despite the productivity gains we've seen in recent centuries. We clearly have the capacity to ensure everyone has access to pursue what makes their mind light up and yearn to create, but here we still are. Structured in a way that each job I've worked is non-essential, takes almost all of my creative energy, and does not push us forward. Meanwhile, many others who are capable of great things, can't even begin to tap into that when they don't know where their next meal might come I feel like I'm rambling a bit, but I guess I just wanted to echo similar thoughts and say your post brought me some relief knowing others see it too . It's something I don't think about as much anymore because I don't quite know what to do about it, but I hope as more of us see this isn't an efficient or healthy way to organize ourselves,we can work together and figure out how to let our true colors flourish |

Apparently, their talents aren't that appreciated by the general society - otherwise, they'd get paid for them.
