But I still gotta go to fucking work tomorrow
well technically you don't gotta
It's just very helpful for things like mortgages and bills and stuff.
You don't gotta, but you gotta. Because for some reason some people decided it's not a right to have food/water/shelter, it's something you have to earn.
Because transactional relationships are easier than dealing with feelings. I guess.
You gotta put in if you're gonna get out
From each according to their ability to each according to their need. Food, water, and shelter are needs and should be provided for unconditionally. We have the ability to fulfill these needs and not doing so is immoral. Some people are not able or willing to contribute to the collective good unless these needs have already been met, we all benefit from uplifting the destitute.
Sounds great until everyone wants a free ride, then there's no one left to peddle.
Fortunately that is not how people or societies function
Take to the woods! Shed the things of man! Find what it means to be alive.
So you want to say they don't have to, but they're conditioned to do it. As if.. as if you were trying to say that we live in the society
