curse of the gap

how much physical work are people really involved in? at least in the middle class above?


anywhere from 50-80 percent of ppl stare at a computer screen with their neck on their phones, from 9-5, talking about what and how they are going to get things done.

and maybe 20 percent of the time, it gets done to the tee.

the rest of the time it just gets lost in translation.

and then we spend more of the time trying to wash our hands clean of the clutter by shunting responsibility or painting the blame on the people we hate, or don;t really care about, as long as it's not our arses.

all we do is digest whatever we learn and regurgitate the originality of some other genius over and over again, till every story, every product, seems, feels, tastes the same.


and as long as it ends up in the black, be it big or small, we get by.

that's what we do, we get by without even bothering to burn the fat of our souls.
