The way we live is completely wrong for a human being. Wasting our lives for numbers in a computer, just enough to pay bills and waste another month.

    Yeah, modern living is so anathema to human life that the ancient greeks literally told horror stories about it. Sisyphus pissed off Zeus, and was cursed in the afterlife to eternally push a boulder up a mountain, only to have the boulder roll away from him as he neared the peak and end up at the base of the mountain again. That was meant to be an extreme torment, because the task can never actually be completed. Sisyphus is forced to spend all of his waking hours struggling, only to have the struggle reset again every day.

    And now we stare at spreadsheets for 8 hours every day, doing tasks that have no end.
