I’ve read that the biggest cause of death is retirement although from the view at my desk today I think that work may be the straw that finallu breaks the office monkeys back…
Evolution or the big white elephant in the sky gave us a brain, two arms and the ability to create and what do we do with it? Copy faxes and write emails to equally bored recipients. Money is the most important factor in the consumerism society and it literary pays for the air we breath and the food in our overfed bellies so living off the land and chilling all day is not an option, but this?
Taking the stairs to the top floor and throwing yourself off the roof is as pointless as calling in sick for a day or two to the company heads. It’s a mild inconvenience and your work is easily distributed and amalgamated into the tapestry of grey that is the working week. The only thing we really have is music, when all is said and done it is the only thing that touches the lower internal levels of consciousness that was forgot about the moment the first cave man saw a spark of fire. I think it’s safe to say that he probably banged out a primal percussive beat for his own personal enjoyment before he decided to begin his quest for a hot meal.
Hail! Hail! Rock and Roll!
