Communism, social welfare, jobs and representatives
We live in a society that elects baffling selfish jerks to office while every other job is downplayed. They are intended representatives but usually fail to do so. Yet they are not the only reps. Teachers, lawyers, doctors and scientists also meet this criteria. We may not perceive it in this way but in actuality despite our modern leanings they are technically and ought to be social representatives.
Our current society is a meritocracy. Landing a job by virtue of achievements. A sweet resume is the acclaimed interest. This personal salvation. Done by one’s own hand. Worked hard and deserve the title. It is a look out for yourself mentality. Only those with status are afforded reciprocity. If the results don’t show the scorn will prejudice. Excellence is the only metric of acceptance. Self responsibility is the ideal. The other is muddied in the dirt kicked at him. To generate the track record others were stomped to reach the ensuing rung in the ladder. Striving for self gain.
When jobs are perceived in this light it diminishes the communal aspect. There is little identification with other. The job becomes an extension of the self to provide for the family. Choosing certain jobs not out of passion but salary. Needing to pay the abominable renting price and high taxes levied. College tuition is scary and comfortable living is close to impossible in the present climate. Survivable but that does not mean joyfully blissful through the years. Hard times with an oscillating economy marketed in its more than avoidable collapse. Security is necessary for tropical leanings. Feeling safe financially in the large suburban battlefield.
Professions are not give back to society but to manage lives. To pay for things. Not necessarily in the most hedonistic manner. Simply put, life is expensive. Add groceries and medication to a long list of post-taxed cash and little remains in the bank account. The government obliterates any lingering good will. The average Joe struggles to give back impassioned with a frown from a tough day at work with his wages slashed. Taxes only infuriate the public when that money goes nowhere. Politicians steal the countrymen’s money to pay for their dubious programs. Intrepid ideas with no future but socially canonical. Wishfully hoping for some recourse but governmental trust is at its wit’s end. Without reform spending persists.
One is supposed to get a job to care for society. Society has provided the necessary education to develop the citizen to return the favour by transferring the education to a profession. His profession is devoted to society’s needs. A cyclical system that resonates with patriotic cohesion. The barbaric expense exploits this link. Especially when it is the government that severs the link. It is the government that privatises and persecutes the citizen whether he knows it or not. Society must stand for itself. The reciprocal relationship between citizen and society ought to be fluid. Society provides needs and the citizen repays those in kind. The more society gives the more it expects.
When society sets a precedent of monetary accumulation, it incentivises exile. It pushes people to search for a single peak. Where they peak, it overlays the scandalous community. Society says one thing and expects another. Such a reaction is undesirable and detestable. Be upfront and educate the ethic. Do not hide behind barricaded doors hoping ultra-altruism breaks down the door to their rescue. Playing with people’s minds confusing them will only lead to eventual heartbreak. Clear wishes need to be articulated. Yet even if spoken softly directly, without the proper mechanistic education it will fail. The ethic must not just be talking points but a framework of living. The structure impassioned follows through.
Market centricity leaves it fate to decide who will win and who will lose. passionate proponents believe everyone is on the same playing field. If sufficient effort is put into the ideal, reciprocity is inevitable. This cornerstone is lacking. It issues a proclamation that benefits the predestined. Some are remiss with difficulties that keeps them down. The market doesn’t save everyone. It aids a few and stirs others. The criminal solicitation often bemoans the critical censorship. Reconciling the safety precautions with radical defences. Shifting the burden on positivists to swiftly declare stumblers to be left behind. Stragglers are possible yet the darwinian jungle is an uncivilised crapshoot. Natural selection will overpower the stragglers.
Every genetic code has a special encryption with strengths and weaknesses. The margin of error is far off in the market profiteering. The passionate are forced to make a difficult decision. Abandon their hopes and dreams or divest to the sources of monetary excellence. The heroic effort to confidently choose a lesser paying job for its personal influence or societal effect is admirable. There are also individuals who can’t cut it in the cutthroat business world. Who are afraid of needles. Not tech wizzes or legal experts. Each of these high paying jobs needs the teacher, janitor and secretary. While their job may not be too difficult their demand is imminent. The labour itself does not require extensive schooling but it does require extensive effort. It is the arduous labour that must be considered.
Perceiving the job market as a communal effort places the individual in a dedicated format. Each does their best for the betterment of the community. Following their passions and affectively giving back to society. While money has become the barometer of value and exchange, one cannot deny the importance of these so called inferior professions. They are dire for societal progression. The downward eye positioning carries emotional distress over the peaceful service. Placing oneself on a pedestal as the garbage man swings by to remove the trash. A more prestigious job is less about refinement and more about monetary excess. Scorn covers the appearance. The picket white fence and four bedroom house demands a certain respect. Yet it is due to the genetic privileges the family was blessed with. It was not wholly his will.
The “I deserve” ideology is a selfish paranoia. It is a heartfelt cry from the cohesive tendencies of old. Satisfaction from personal accomplishment behooves the collective gain. It does not trickle down. It is for the self to be elevated beyond the other. To receive what is owed for reaching a milestone in a specific industry. The sole inclination to work for the self and gain at the other’s pursuit. Just trying to win the race. To come out on top. To stand on the pedestal raising the trophy. Vying for supremacy over each other. A competitive society aggressively courting in specific corners of the market. Entering the ring against a heavyweight even if in the lightweight division. It is a do or die scenario. Neither side holding back but the advantage to the heavyweight though not destined to victory has higher odds. The competitive nature may only increase his odds.
It is the realisation of destitute otherness. The heavyweight looks down on his inferior competition. Yet he is fatefully positioned to out duel his opponents. He has the training and the build. His opponents are mere electricians playing against professional athletes. While the layman may take one over in a Cinderella story capture a once in a lifetime chance. A few will pass but most will fall. In the ring there is a hierarchy of the best at it but the vertical composition forgets the horizontal axis. The athlete cannot complete with the electrician in his art. The athlete will surly fail. They need one another. While the people understand the exchange, the market does not. The market values by monetary excess not human deliberation. The benefit to the athlete is he will retain his job but he will also lose his electrician. If the electrician decides to be an athlete believing that is his destiny and sole choice he will falter in the beginning. There will also be a necessary vacancy.
The monetary influence coerces the individual to abandon for a single avenue. One road regularly travelled. Yet if not for the arrogantly passionate and the second chancers, those vital roles would remain empty. Not everyone is built to do the job but that does not mean not everyone is built to make millions. It is the luck of the market that certain professions accumulate more wealth. As that also depends on the country. Doctors make good money in the states but minuscule in public health countries. Their passion for medicine maintains the flow but does not promise a payday. The interest of a select few who rise above the rest for their particular skill is noticed by their ill filled requirements. They need the underpaid others: the teacher, the electrician. The latter may not receive the quantity of revenue the athlete attains but their job is quintessential to society. The market simply does not pay that share that the athlete attains.
Fighting in the ring for the top spot demands winners and losers. The winners sojourn in their victories. Capitalising on your their monetary accumulation. Absorbing the profit and exchanging it for personal endeavours. Building larger houses and buying faster cars. Using the money earned for personal status elevation. For the internal comfort and external recognition. The excess emphasises the ability to obtain the expense. A show off expenditure. The hierarchical message carries a superiority status lurking over the rest of society. It is a ring that the market personifies. Few eclipse at the expense of the public. Hoarding that money for iconic representation. The rest work hard without receiving the marginal payday the few do. Are they losers? Are their jobs that insignificant? Well market will answer affirmatively but then again it is also saturated by singular industrial reinforcement.
