Re: The Sad Truth About Today’s World
this picture is going from the saying in the western world "the Rat Race"...prahkeitouj wrote:
What does it mean?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat_race
for example...In an analogy to the modern city, many rats in a single maze expend a lot of effort running around, but ultimately achieve nothing (meaningful) either collectively or individually. This is often used in reference to work, particularly excessive or competitive work; in general terms, if one works too much, one is in the rat race. This terminology contains implications that many people see work as a seemingly endless pursuit with little reward or purpose.
The increased image of work as a "rat race" in modern times has led many to question their own attitudes to work and seek a better alternative; a more harmonious work-life balance. Many believe that long work hours, unpaid overtime, stressful jobs, time spent commuting, less time for family life and/or friends life, has led to a generally unhappier workforce/population unable to enjoy the benefits of increased economic prosperity and a higher standard of living.

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.
