For man, living means thriving in freedom. I'm not the one saying this; human nature says it, or more precisely, the pneumatological aspect of human life.
An individual who does not thrive in freedom and who has no possibility of aspiring to thrive in freedom does not live like a man, but lives like an animal, that is, under the banner of survival, which is a peculiarity of animal life, the thing animals strive for throughout their lives.
More than 90% of the world's population are people who are about to lose the possibility of aspiring to a prosperous life in conditions of freedom, and these people are workers.
Workers are individuals whose life is based on selling their time to entities (companies) that compensate them with money.
Money is a currency, which as such changes based on situations and events. Among the various situations and events that cause the devaluation of money, the one that devalues it most is the increase in the effectiveness and productive efficiency of machines.
Technological progress is considered the enemy of workers, but it is precisely thanks to it that man thrives and humanity progresses. For this reason, no legislator will ever be able to prevent man from investing in technology and striving to create increasingly sophisticated means and tools, capable of improving in terms of capacity and productive efficiency.
Man was not born to work, but to be well. To this end, what he must do is increasingly reduce the workload in order to obtain the things he needs to be well. When he succeeds, he thrives and makes the society in which he lives and of which he is a part thrive.
Many men who strive in this direction advance humanity.
This is the meaning of man's life. Everything else is fluff for poor devils who must be deluded about life, so that they continue to do what they know how to do, which is to use tools made available by creators, to carry out as best they can the tasks assigned to them.
There are those who claim that this is worthless talk, because workers through their work activities contribute to social growth and progress. It is true, but at the expense of their own life, which is a mortal sin, because man has a duty toward himself, even before society and humanity, which is to obtain the things he needs to be well and thrive.
Work is not an activity that allows one to fulfill this duty, and the proof of this is job insecurity, the loss of purchasing power, and the increasingly pitiful living conditions in which the category of workers lives.
Most of whom take offense when you tell them they have a sh*tty life, but it is an unfounded resentment, a consequence of the illusion of a well-being they do not have, a consequence of indoctrination into believing in ideals, principles, and values of very little worth, which lead to living to the minimum expression, rather than to the fullest expression, and therefore to mediocrity.
