I work just for a paycheck, my job means nothing to me.

 

 

I'm not here not just because I don't like my job, but because I don't like people in general. I don't know many people that seriously enjoy ancient history. I didn't even know many in college. Most people in real life don't share my interests, that's why I'm on the internet.

I'm not here not just because I don't like my job, but because I don't like people in general.  I don't know many people that seriously enjoy ancient history.  I didn't even know many in college.  Most people in real life don't share my interests, that's why I'm on the internet.

 

 

I'm in the same boat Ursus, no one I know in my life shares my interests, in Art, History, matter a fact none of my friends or associates care much for anything other than going out and getting tanked on one thing or another.

 

Ultimately, we're both after another more satisfying life. I wonder what people did before the internet when they were seeking that ? Drugs ? Joined the Army ? Joined a book club I guess.

 

Thanks for commenting on my comment !

"I wonder what people did before the internet when they were seeking that."

 

Every age had its trivial amusements for the masses. But it's only in the last two centuries or so that leisure became an all consuming passion. Before technology gave us a surplus of wealth and food, most people worked all day long to try to survive. Then too, the world used to be a lot more religious.

 

 

I think work and religion consumed most people's lives until about the mid 1800's.
