Okay, so I was sitting at the bus stop today, I had just got off work, and I was sitting there, letting my thought run astray, and I remember a time where I worked at a toystore for about 5 hours on the 3rd street promenade, in Santa Monica, CA.
I was hired, but the day I started, I didnt fill out any paperwork, and after being there for the time that I was, one of the owners came up to me and told me that it wasnt going to work out, and gave me 40 bucks cash, sent me on my marry way.
It was kinda wierd, cause I was basically starving, and here I am, out of a job that I didnt have for more then a day, broke, 40 bucks cash in my hand, and you know what I decided to do, I went and I saw Dangerous Minds, in the movie theater, cause I needed to get away from my house, and the gilr that I was living with, and the emanent depression that I thought was going to hit me harder then it already had..
That thought process went on to a bird that was about 4 feet from me, walking in the grass eyeing the ground looking for food. I sat there and wondered, why is it that an animal, from a bird to a fox, to a wolf, to any that you can think of, will get up every morning, and go to their proverbial work. They will go and hunt, either for themselves, or their offspring, they will search for a mate, they will make their homes better, forever busy leading their lives.
This whole time, they never ever once think to themselves, Im not going to get up this morning, Im not going to go to "work". They dont feel sorry for themselves, all they know is survival, in its finest.
There was a time, where survival for our species was paramount, we did all that, with out a question why, and over time, I think that the instinct that was programmed into us from day one, has been forced into dormancy, and we sit back, never in touch with it, because we dont need to be..
I get up every morning, go to work, earn my pay, come home, and do it all over again, so do all of you, but whats to stop is from quitting our jobs, sitting at home, and pretty much have all of our need handed to us in some way or another?
Im many ways, this isnt much different from what we did in the cave man days, back then, we did rely on everyone to make the community whole, everyone had a job, whether it be the hunter, the gatherer, the mother, the child, everyone in the community had their part in the scheme. Nowadays, you can look at it this way, the homeless in the world, rely on the people who arent, to live and to survive.
Its interesting to see the evolution of it all, cause thats what it is, we didnt get to this point, we evolved to it, we may hate each other, we may fight each other, kill each other, love each other, loathe each other, whatever we do, but in the end, we are still trying to insure the survival of the tribe.

That's a very interesting thought process and I'm sure it'll find its way into my head as I job hunt like burning this week.
