Instead of working to earn and get rich, why are majority now end up struggling in life? Honestly, what I'm seeing right now is that we work to survive, not to make money and get rich in the process. Could this be the real possibility of life? Or we are just blinded by fantasies in life? Or is it because working alone is never sufficient enough to make riches in life, but we need various investments to achieve success and get wealthy in the long run?
This is the dividend of a failed system globally, it was meant to be as you said, but the reverse is the case in the 21st century, and I don't think it can get better. What can get better is for some countries to change the narrative in their domain, but most countries in the world will continue to suffer, I mean, the citizens, because aside from the fact that the economy is bad, creativity will reduce more. Not that there are no creative people, but the discovery of themselves and resources to actualise it (for those who discovered themselves) may not be there. We should continue to find a path in this situation by ensuring we survive through paying jobs or self-created jobs and opportunities.
It's survival after all.
