I have this feeling that I’ve had conversations that had friction and I couldn’t tell why because I’ve internalized this notion. Ive also been provocative in saying that there’s no such thing as rewards for hard work and doing good for society is entirely separate from making enough. Or popping off with saying NEET would be the highest aspiration short of destroying the system and getting justice for the exploitation.
Write your own stories. I have an entire canon that I can draw from and more ideas for novels than I can publish in a lifetime. It’s one of the few practices I’ve ever engaged in that I’m proud of.
