Thinking about stopping going to work

[Anonymous No.23435981]

I've been working there for years now but I think it might be time to stop soon. It just doesn't do it for me anymore, it's not really helping me in any way. I don't get any benefits, hasn't helped me with women, or with meeting new people and it's barely enough money at the end of the month. I'm not getting any joy out of it anymore like I used to. It also eats up too much of my time.

So yeah after waging for many years, on and off I admit, it might be time to finally call it quits and move on with my life, so my new years resolution was to quit work and just fuck everything. I won't be paying any more bills, taxes, utilities, fines, groceries or any other financial obligations. First thing I will do is stop paying rent, which should be one year or so until they evict me, will trash the place real good at the end either way. Just not going to participate anymore that's all.

You are dying.
>Labour is Life: from the inmost heart of the Worker rises his god-given Force, the sacred celestial Life-essence breathed into him by Almighty God; from his inmost heart awakens him to all nobleness,—to all knowledge, 'self-knowledge' and much else, so soon as Work fitly begins.

We are not your therapy or life advisors. Although, I would suggest replacing work with some form of proactiveness like art or fitness, and keeping your financial responsibility and so on, not self sabotaging more than you have to. Quitting work is one thing, ignoring contracts is headed toward suicide.

> I don't get any benefits
I hate work too, but aren't housing and the means of subsistence pretty important benefits? What kind of indigent lifestyle are you picturing for yourself without an income, specifically?

Also why do you keep posting this exact same thread, and never responding to anyone who replies to you?

>>23435992
Of course he would say that. His job was 'man of letters', and he could work on whatever his spirit inclined him to. Most people currently don't have that luxury. The truism that you need to exercise your faculties to feel truly alive shouldn't be dressed up as a metaphysical justification for a lifetime of drudgery and squandered consciousness.

The kind of work done is irrelevant as long as it is true. Work is life and idleness is death.
>Idleness is worst, Idleness alone is without hope: work earnestly at anything, you will by degrees learn to work at almost all things. There is endless hope in work, were it even work at making money.

"True work" in this context obviously means done in earnest. Nice strawman, though.

Yes. Suffering necessary hardship (e.g. work) with the right attitude makes you a stronger, better person.

I haven't had a job in 10 years. Believe me I'm still alive. The proudest moment of my life was when I told my boss I was resigning. How did I live without a wage you ask? God provided, literally. There is meaning in the fabric of reality, you have to follow His path.

You lack imagination. Resourfulness.
You only need bread, some fruits, fresh water and a warm blanket to survive. Good books and coffee for the feeding of the soul.
There are plenty lifepathes that allow you to have that much without wagecucking.

Le Jews. Nothing wrong with work. What's wrong is that people overestimate how talented and smart they are and think they're above work. If you were really that good at whatever passion you want to pursue, you'd already be recognized for it. But here you are on 4chan. Because you're an insufferable loser who needs to blame other people for their failures.

The last man would tell you that you need both work and time off.
Meanwhile Nietzsche:
>Those who commend work. - In the glorification of 'work', in the unwearied talk of the 'blessing of work', I see the same covert idea as in the praise of useful impersonal actions: that of fear of everything individual. Fundamentally, one now feels at the sight of work - one always means by work that hard industriousness from early till late - that such work is the best policeman, that it keeps everyone in bounds and can mightily hinder the development of reason, covetousness, desire for independence. For it uses up an extraordinary amount of nervous energy, which is thus denied to reflection, brooding, dreaming, worrying, loving, hating; it sets a small goal always in sight and guarantees easy and regular satisfactions. Thus a society in which there is continual hard work will have more security: and security is now worshipped as the supreme divinity. - And now! Horror! Precisely the 'worker' has become dangerous! The place is swarming with 'dangerous individuals'! And behind them the danger of dangers - the individual!
It's been a few years since i read that quote actually, and now that i have a job it's scary how correct he was. My soul and aspirations are totally dead.

just would like to remind everyone here that "work" is not synonymous or interchangeable with "job". all life forms do some form of work to survive: hunting, foraging, scavenging, sending roots into the ground for nourishment. only human beings and insects are retarded enough to have "jobs"

this is so fuckin true. can't tell you how many times I've gotten a moment to think at work and I'll be having the best little train of thought brewing, just to be interrupted by somebody asking me to do something. the funny part is, most people think this is "good". I was standing there brooding to myself and my coworker came up and said "what are you doing?" I said, "just thinking." and she said, "oh that's not good. you don't want to think too much. that's why I always stay busy."

That's a terrible plan. You need some way to survive. I don't want to work either. You need to at least find a way to get on state assistance or state housing if that's actually your plan. It sounds good in the moment but eventually you'll feel like you fucked up your whole life.

[Anonymous No.23436890]

I realized I hate work a year in to my big law job so I resigned and got an easy remote work gig and I’ve been doing that ever since.

Personally, I think work is a means to an end and not a virtue in itself. As a general rule, workers should work and reap it’s fruits but if work is particularly disagreeable or if the fruits cannot be harvested for some reason then whether or not one should work is open question at best. I can respect the decision to not work.

>>23436675
No actually my parents died 10 years ago, and I was already living on my own by then, probably while you were still pissing your bed.
I made enough money through my investments to not worry about making money anymore. This money arrived after I had resigned, that's why I said it was God providing, and it makes sense since I followed His calling by resigning.
