Doing what we love vs Doing what we have to

At some point, all of us do what we have to.

This takes away from what we want to.

Whether this is at the macro, or micro, level, this focus on Production in our everyday lives, whether thats at the 9-5 or through support of our relationships ie parenting or in partnership with another.  That, in a sense, is the Production we want but its also the necessary daily Production, that can easily turn into consumption.

The desire to Produce in a more macro level with Production that is driven from desire and forward thinking diminishes...and we create a world that is not focused on Production but consumption to get to the next day.

I read an article today about a man a couple years younger who was able to dispel his student loans through the public service program and he immediately felt the need, and runway that wasnt afforded him in indebtedness, to run for local political office.  He then stressed the student loan relief directly allowed him to have this path, and that diminishing amount of civil servants or those looking to serve in the comminity is dwindled by the inability, and weight, that comes with large debt burdens in result of student loans.

It is rather ironic, as with many things, that we move forward by indebting our lives to creditors to not be able to move forward to the positions and careers we're paying to forge.

It's not irony.

Its capitalism.

An angry, hungry, unregulated (or unregulated to protect the mark and allow the rich to get richer) animal looking to devour any life for its marginal gain.

Production isn't an easy daily proposition, but with burdens outside the normal, consumption continues to the same harrowing levels.

Possibly this is where the separation happens, to unzip the middle class and allow the upper to oversee the peasants, to rinse and repeat history and a storyline we've written ourselves.
