Do the thing and you’ll have the power.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sometimes you need to confront something that is not fun. An unwillingness to do this may be the downfall of the youngest generation of our society. It seems sometimes that they do not want to do hard work.
It’s an interesting fact that societies tend to fall when they embrace hedonism over a good work ethic.
The fact that laziness is on the rise is reflected in historic rates of nonparticipation in the workforce by young men, the “Great Resignation” movement, and the difficulty many employers find in securing employees willing to do challenging jobs.
Meanwhile, social media provides a platform for virtue signaling in abundance. Perhaps we have gained in a false sense of superiority to the same degree we have lost in work ethic.
Will these factors simultaneously tank our economy at home and continue to stoke resentment abroad or can the situation at hand be reversed?
In answer to the question, are we doomed? No. Our future is within our control However, the first step to correcting a problem is to acknowledge that it exists.
