The Daily Grind

*Ring* --Snooze

*Ring Ring Ring* -- Ugh

I feel we all (eventually) get caught in what some people call "the daily grind" also known as "the usual routine". Get up, get dressed, goto work, come home, eat and, do it all over again. This happens when we, as costumers, put ourselves into the system and start making payments on debt we have collected. These payments can include rent, car payments, credit cards or whatever. Dylan's song, Working Mans Blues #2 comes to mind. Basically, it's a cycle that is always continuous and never changing for most of the people in the western world. It's pointless, boring and most of all...unethical and wrong.

I've been caught in the snare by "the man". He's got me by the balls and I'm crying. I need to escape as soon as possible.

Going to a four year university has its perks. Parties, knowledge, atmosphere, culture. All these things influence us to become better people. But, when we graduate, most of us will have collected right around 50 thousand dollars in student loan debt. A pretty hefty sum of money. Say goodbye and welcome to the grind.

The only way I see it possible to escape the institution is to never enter it to begin with. Never collect debt. Yet, it's nearly impossible...the system is set up to enforce debt on the common man. Many people don't have a choice, they must take out loans to survive. It's wrong. It's fascist.

The bottom line is... The bottom line rules us all. There must be a balance between living selfishly and giving to others when you have a surplus.
