The right to exist

It should be granted by default. There shouldn’t be any justification. And yet…we qualify it all the time.

The psychological hold a job has on us is tied to who we are by what we do from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Humans can’t be humans. They also have to be categorized by what type of human they are, whether it is by race, gender, legal status, or education. We also like to know how much someone is worth by how much money they make, which is only a short walk away from how much value this person brings.

What a slippery road this is.

A legacy isn’t marked by how much wealth is generated in a lifetime. It is a story we tell about someone.

That is an awful way to look at life. I’m afraid it is tied to getting far too comfortable looking through the lens of corporatism and capitalism.
