If I hear one more time "I worked for that" when talking about what one deserves in some great amount I will experience a little bit more disappointment in my fellow species. We all have to do something regardless of whether it is economics or not. Our natures demand that we be active, so why is it that some think that we should be rewarded with great riches when others toil for little more than sustenance to stay alive. Work is work, no matter how you parlay the activity. I would venture to say that the more demanding of work is the rigorous physical motions that produce muscle and bone wear is far more productive than the work that is done in an easy chair with a pen or computer. It seems reasonable that some would differ with me here, however, creating new ways to work are still not equivalent to the actual work being done. What I am trying to express is that we all need to be active at something in order for our lives to grow and mature. We all cannot sit in a cave and meditate on true enlightenment for the entirety of our existences. That our activity is rewarded is an argument for how we barter, not for the necessity of our needs. We need to be active and applying a system of rewards to it cannot so tip the balance that some who work are given too much and others who toil are given far too little. This type of process destroys our human natures and molds us into competitive carnivores who have little to no empathy for our fellow human beings. Again, we all need to be active as a rule, but we need to find a system of barter that equates the real value of our individual activities in light of our nature to be active.
