Rat Race is a superficial term and what most people make mistake when hearing this term —” Rat Race” They think that quitting your job and getting out of the 9 to 5 grind is the ultimate theory behind this concept.
but in reality, it is not. I can tell because I run my own business and after learning these years, Rat Race is nothing but a term invented by the societal mechanism to entice you and force you to think that your job is shitty and you should quit ASAP.
Let’s Look it From a Difference Perspective—
you see, the hypothesis of Rat Race lies in not knowing who you are or in a nutshell you get deluded from your true self by engaging yourself in constant dopamine leakage and temporary emotional booster tasks like parties, alcohol etc. This becomes a cycle and slowly you start to hate your life, your job becomes a burden.
Why does This happen?
most of us while getting into a job or even business, never ask ourselves that —”
- Why I am even doing this?
- What is my purpose behind my actions?
- Is this align with my long term goal?
and most importantly this happens because we can’t get a connection with our work, in other words, we get alienated from what we are doing as per Karl Marx and get run towards other enjoyment booster activities.
most of us are confused by the fancy things of the world, the cars, the brand new gadgets that media constantly pounds you with advertisement and forces you to buy things that you never needed. This slowly creates a cycle of craving and disappointment and leads to Rat Race.
You do something not because you love it, You do it so that you can pay your EMI or buy things to impress others.
What is the Solution?
- Try focusing more on your strengths
- Find some profession, career, skills based on what you love Doing
- There is nothing wrong in jobs if you really love doing the work
