What the Unmotivated Are Doing for You
Who are the unmotivated? Are they losers who just don't get it,
who refuse to hold a job, or join the human rat race? The
unmotivated are, in fact, people who do get it, who know it's
all a scam, who refuse to be led by corporate and religious
wranglers to the slaughter.
It takes great will and integrity to remain unmotivated in the
face of society's constant motivational assault: Work hard,
follow the rules, fulfill your potential, keep up with the Jones
or the Patels, believe in this deity or that deity. Success for
the vast majority of us would be achieving less than 1% of what
the people behind the scams already have and want to keep us
from ever having. The haves promote delayed gratification to the
have-nots. You'll go to heaven when you die. You'll be able to
do everything you always wanted to when you retire. The more
gratification we delay the more gratification the haves enjoy
today.
There is no greater struggle for the human race than to remain
unmotivated. Only through lack of motivation can we crush this
evil scheme that keeps us chained to our jobs, mortgages and
fears. Fear is a big motivator—fear of failure, fear of being
different, fear of being alone. Fear keeps us in bondage.
Society provides comfort and structure, but it's a shell game, a
carrot on a stick, the old bait-and-switch.
The rebellion is already taking place. It's happening with the
gal in the next cubicle who is always on break, the pizza guy
who never delivers a hot pie, and the customer service rep who
doesn't bother acting like he cares. There will be no shot heard
around the world, only the quiet but willful voices of those
saying, "No thank you," to buying into the lie. These people are
our heroes, not the overhyped celebrities, athletes and "stars"
created by the media. Knock them off their pedestals! Better yet
stop building pedestals. Why is the ability to look beautiful on
TV and push hair conditioner more valuable than the ability to
shovel manure from a stall? When push comes to shovel, it's all
just different manure. Freedom is only an unproductive day away.
