Suffering existential angst? Could be the mindless consumption of advertised reality that we are totally in control of our ‘destiny’. We forget the element of luck and randomness of the universe.
A laborer who toils day in day out is not lacking in hard work, persistence, patience as much as the white collar worker. For each successful entrepreneur, many have failed who have tried just as much. For every successful professional, many who gave their best just as much, if not, even more were overlooked for promotion or recognition. I’ve witnessed redundancies, people being mere numbers to the bottom line and has got nothing to do with talent, ambition, or hard work. An investor who spends few hours a week can make more money capitalising on the entrepreneurs who work their ass off 60-80 hours a week.
