At Least It’s Nothing Serious

Here’s an email exchange this morning:

Me: Is it just me or does the paralyzing dread of life get bigger everyday? E: BIGGER every single day… that feeling of dread you have? It’s because you hate your life.. trust me I know.. Me: Good. At least it’s nothing serious. E: Nope.. status quo buddy… welcome to the hell that is our lives Bearer of good news signing off lol Me: You know I’m totally using this exchange for my blog? Fucking precious. E: Do it! Lol.. who cares.. what else do we have to lose… that’s what happens when you take everything away from people… they get dangerous.. Me: Or suicidal. E: Same result Brewhahahaaa!

I feel so much better. To quote Bob Black’s The Abolition of Work:

Work is the source of nearly all the misery in the world. Almost any evil you’d care to name comes from working or from living in a world designed for work. In order to stop suffering, we have to stop working.
