Cup of Liberation

Why do most Americans willfully agree to go to work every morning? We get dressed, eat breakfast and rush to a job we know will be a painful experience. There are occasional moments of pride but these moments are swiftly crushed by the realization that although one project is complete there are more to come. I rarely meet people who love their jobs. My father hates his job, my mother used to hate her job and most of my friends hate their jobs. What would happen if everyone who hated their job quit? What if we all quit on the same day? How would the world change? I was told if I didn't want my job there were 100 people who would love to take it. This might be true but I doubt there are 100 people who want my job, there are lots of people who need my job. This is completely different. People have kids, sick parents and sick partners, which forces them to appreciate any job with benefits, decent hours and good pay.

If I had one wish for the world, it would be for everyone to live with passion. I used to wake up every morning and drink a cup of passion tea just to remind me that it existed. Some how by drinking it I thought it would filter through my body and materialize making my work day pleasurable. It worked for a while but eventually I realized it was time to leave the tea bags behind, end my job and create the passion myself. Following ones passion is a privilege that shouldn't be wasted or taken lightly. After I started moving towards my real love, people around me become uncomfortable. I didn't understand it at first but then I realized it's a gift most people don't give themselves. The best way to liberate others is to liberate yourself. So, viva la liberation.
