Conveniences, automation, safety plans, etc. Everyone loves winging it and having piles of chores, but then they complain about life being hard, but then they don’t change anything

    As a kid in a Catholic family I remember my dad saying God intended man to live “by the sweat of his brow”. No idea if it’s a bible quote or what, I can just hear him saying it. But I think there’s a mentality that life wasn’t meant to be fun or easy, and therefore thinking it should be is a wrong thought. Somehow this doesn’t make inheriting wealth and living in abject luxury evil or wrong, as long as you still have a work ethic. Or something, I dunno.

      I’ve heard this before, and when I stopped believing in god I vowed that if god had an issue with me having an easy life he can come fist fight me.
