THE DEPRESSING WORLD OF NO WORK

 THE DEPRESSING WORLD OF NO WORK

By Domenick J. Maglio PhD. Traditional Realist

 

“Diligent hands will rule but laziness ends in forced labor.” Proverb 12:24

 

Too many productive people who are highly paid workers count the minutes they have before retiring. A person’s retiring often can turn into a humdrum purposeless, tedious existence for many. Time is extremely important to the professional people at NASA before a launch at Cape Canaveral. A successful rocket takeoff is a wonderful accomplishment that leads to more exciting challenges and events. Time spent doing productive things moves quickly while watching the clock can be torture.

 

Often the wish of some people is to live without the need to work. Many USA citizens are getting their wish with the Covid-19 epidemic. The United States treasury under the Biden administration has begun to pay citizens not to work. These government handouts and economic promises are reminiscent of the Marxist dream of a utopian world that seduces citizens to surrender their liberties. These seemingly all-knowing officials give with one hand and take back even more with the other. The world where the state provides equal financial assistance to all citizens should cause alarm. Invariably the communist takeovers always fall short of their economic promises. While the powerful elites live luxurious lives, the masses are either exterminated or scrape for crumbs to survive.

 

How would a world without striving and merit be? What would the masses do in this supposed “land of plenty” without the necessity of working? The Garden of Eden did not bode well for Adam and Eve who had everything they wanted as long as they did not eat the forbidden fruit. Temptation drove Eve to test God’s commandment. Too much idle time on one’s hands still leads many individuals into temptation that often results in hell on earth. 

 

Naïve citizens are pawns who are being robbed of their selfhood. The lack of having gratifying employment has fostered many evil practices. Filling the void of not having meaningful lives has significantly increased drug use, the evil killing of innocent victims, domestic violence, sex outside of marriage, child abuse, mental illness and many other behaviors that were considered in the past as deviant behavior. As the Biblical statement warns, “idleness is the devil’s workshop,” and“if you do not work, you do not eat.”

 

Our national economy is moving in the wrong direction towards idleness. It has reversed its incentives from initiating and developing small businesses to be productive enterprises. Instead, it is passing laws crushing them while giving large corporations every advantage to dominate the market. 

 

The government is creatively cancelling small businesses through arbitrary laws and promoting the corporate world through tax incentives, grants and contracts to companies with connection. This has seduced unaware masses of Americans to believe they are being given something good for nothing. The transition to a global corporate economy is seen in the technique of printing worthless money and giving it to people not to work with promises of more future benefits and lowers the need and motivation for people to seek employment at previously reasonable salaries. The Marxist strategy is to destroy capitalism and the meaningful employment that gives purposeful lives to citizens robbing the individual of any useful life mission causing them to feel useless to self and others. Small businesses withering will result in capitalism perishing.  

Small businesses, not corporations are the backbone of our capitalistic society. Work gives people incentive to start the morning and accomplish a checklist of things. The person becomes motivated to use their time wisely. It encourages them to make their own mark in life by focusing their energies and gives them personal dignity and gratification through their efforts. These experiences also assist them in their spiritual growth. It allows them to reach their immediate life goals while creating their legacy on earth and in the afterlife.

 

National and international communism does not inspire individuals to be the best they can be but leaves the average person feeling worthless.  The masses living under communism know they can be eliminated at will for any evil purpose of the statist leaders. Citizens are not useful except as drones. The elites and their bureaucrats view them as subhuman deplorables whose only purpose is to be slaves to them.  

 

Anyone “woke” or anyone who encourages the communist existence may believe they will become an elite but will pay with their soul. As the failure of the communist system becomes apparent the diligent people will again arise and rule.
