Before I delve any further in to psyche of the job seeker, let me refresh you on, what a job seeker is?, his creation to evolution.
Every child's life, including mine and your's is taken away from us, when we reach the age of three. Usually just when u have started speaking, and learning how to shit properly, not like an animal i.e, about the same time you start grasping the idea that, humans don't bite each other to solve issues, and you are still confused weather, your mum really has the power to summon Terrifying creatures that take you away, if you don't obey her. At such nascent stage when you haven't fully understood what you are and whatever the fuck is going on around you, you loose your rights to your life. By life, I mean your future, your destiny, everything.... even your mind. Your ability to think, dream, understand and even your perceptions are tampered. How so?
You are sent to school.
There we are transformed. No not physically, but mentally. From that moment, our opportunity to remain human and exercise our right to live our lives, is abolished. From then on we are slowly transformed from humans to Horses. Race Horses to be precise. Bridles are put on our heads and we are madly trained to do one thing, and one thing only. Run. They keep telling us how important this race is and the glory in its victory and what not. Yes I am talking about the so called "education".
We are told that, all the nonsensical hardwork, the unwarranted nervous breakdowns during exams, the enforcement of mindless disciplining routines, is to ensure a gratifying and prosperous future and career. They were lying. We endure all this, like the horses endure a pygmy, dressed like a joker, sitting on them and smacking them on the arse and trying to rip its head off. Not in hope of the bright future but because we don't have a choice. Our brains are fucked with, to make us believe that we don't have a choice.
Why should I run the race, I never wanted to. I never enjoy the feeling of my supremacy over others or relished their failure. So what if I wont get a job, or never be able to buy myself a house, and sell myself at a good price over a ceremony called marriage. I would be able to live MY life the way I want to. I am sure thats the case with the Race horse. It wouldn't have chosen an A/C stable over the open pastures. It wouldn't be eating imported grass dipped in Rum for dinner, but end up eating the grass wetted by its own urine a few days ago. So Fuckin what?
If you still don't get, what is it that i am complaining about, lemme peel the banana and show you what to do with it.
I complain because, I have been promised that, if I invest 20 years of my life in this torturous regime called education, and prove my competence, I shall be able to live the rest of my life comfortably, and happily even. This is one BIG lie. In a fair "DEAL", after the end of 20 years, I should be in a position to choose, what kind of work I do, who to work for and so on.
But thats clearly not the case. I have to end up doing what the society and the market demands. And not just that. I even have to kill my interests, passions, and over all, my dignity and end up begging someone to use me. I don't think its any different from what a whore does.
No. I am wrong. A whore is better. Because she is not oblivious to the fact that shes selling herself.
