After reading TMF and a little bit of Unscripted . I realize that the 5:2 trade, Monday through Friday is what we are all trying to escape. But what if I am in highschool and I can't get away from it? I definitely don't think dropping out would be a good idea, but I still have to go there from Monday Through Friday every week. Now that I think about it, all our lives we have been going through work servitude. As kids in elementary school, we were always taught to do our work, listen to instructions and do the 5:2 trade. Middle school, same thing. Highschool, same thing. College, same thing. Everytime we progress in school levels, our work only gets harder and instructions become stricter. Then off into the world, all to do the same thing over again, except this time it's for the rest of your life.
