Life started to suck when the responsibilities came.

[โ€“] Adalast@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I feel it is less responsibilities and more the societal awareness that comes with them that tends to make the change. When you start paying bills you start dealing directly with greedy corporations, landleeches, and greedy employers, all of whom view you as a commodity rather than a human being.

Life being pay to play, as it has been for a couple hundred years, is where I feel the "downward trend of society" feelings come from.
