Is it natural for us to work?
Like in machine, acting as a cog,
selective tasks, long hours,
not enough time, to spend at home,
or enjoy moments of leisure.
Since ancient times, we had a rhythm,
short burst of activity, work or pleasure,
there was a fluidity in their actions,
without rigid rules or regulations,
to limit movements, against distractions.
The advancements of our civilizations,
we started following division of labor,
to be more productive in performance,
scaling agriculture, industrial revolutions,
in the era of hyper-specializations.
Yet, it came with a price,
of being dependent on assistance,
for fulfillment of necessities,
be it our food, shelter & energy,
forgetting the skills of survival.
Before long, we get acclimatized,
joining the rat race of productivity,
where competitions & comparisons,
forcing us to maintain relative positions,
while loss of family & community...
Keep adding jobs, following atomization.
Is it natural for us to work?
Or just a facade, social construct,
a busyness, driven by artificial urgency,
which we can easily opt out of,
by protecting our unproductive space...
Where we cultivate hobbies, wander, or do nothing!
