Give up. Please. Your life has been an endless struggle. Fighting not just for survival but for various luxuries that you never really enjoyed. This world has become a boiling cauldron where humans are racing towards unknown and unwanted goals. You have always been taught never to give up but consider first, the results of your struggle. What aims are you going to achieve that will possibly be worth this mad rush. The wheel of the world has started spinning very fast recently. You are an insect caught in its trap. Your goals and ambitions are not your own but a part of this wheel. As you work tirelessly for goals so far beyond food and shelter that you are unsure of their need, you speak of progress. Progress towards angina and diabetes. This is not just your destruction but the destruction of this entire planet. That is a big price to pay for this intangible progress which nobody needs. We are burning ourselves out and burning this planet at a very rapid pace. Let there be more time for thought. Work less, do less, think more. Above all, relax. Relaxation is important not just for your soul or your health but even for the survival of this species. Hard work is killing you. You don’t want to work. Hardly anyone wants to work (and for those who do, there are always demented souls, aberrations in nature). You are doing something you don’t want to do, for goals that scare everyone. What are you doing?

You have been taught to keep fighting, to never give up. Fight then and spill the blood of your brothers. Kill everyone who stands in your path because you like being victorious. Victory may belong to people like you but in the end it will be hollow. This is world is run by the so called dynamic people who keep struggling and are never ones to shy away from a fight. To be victorious, you have to be a fighter. If you were to follow the philosophy outlined here, you could never be successful in this world. You would always lose. That is the point of this essay. We want you to lose. Our aim is to glorify laziness, to celebrate tardiness. This is bad for the health of large corporations but good for this living, breathing planet. We have lost our humanity, our spirituality, and now we stand to lose our lives.

The corporations that control your lives are greedy. They will never be satisfied. You have to keep running with whiplashes on your back and legs. The whip threatens your survival sometimes. If you lose your job, you may starve. We must all do the minimum possible work needed for survival. This world can change. Slowly as people begin to work less and less, the corporations will have no choice but to hire you. This is not about trade unions and communism. This is not a call for workers of the world to unite. Be deceptive and wily and be as lazy as possible. In the natural world, animals that have a slower metabolism live far longer than faster ones. The earth will live longer and we will get a new lease of life.

On the other hand, you can work hard, fuel the engines of this world, contribute to our progress and generate wealth. You will contribute towards the poison in our water, air and soil. Your contribution will be to deforestation and green house gases. The engines that you are putting fuel into, generate filth that covers the entire planet. Breathe, drink and eat poisons and destroy all life forms upon this planet. What wealth is this filth generating? A portable music player? Do you want to choose between one year of vacation and a portable music player? Do you want to choose between ingesting poisons and listening to mp3 players? Who wants this progress? Has true wealth been generated by these engines of civilization? I am not just saying that this civilization has not increased our peace and happiness. That is a given and there is no need to argue about that. But even the things which it HAS given, the wealth it has generated is unwanted. Given the proper circumstances and given a true choice, no one would really want this wealth. This progress and this civilization has given us nothing and has merely taken from us to feed itself. The more this demon is fed, the bigger it will grow and bigger will be its appetite.

The time has come to follow your heart. To slip from the grasp of your masters. This is the time to sleep and relax. Now is the time to shirk work. Be lazy. Be a loser. It is good for your planet and your species. Do not be selfish. Do not throw away a planet for petty personal victories. Do not throw away your life, health and happiness for petty and insignificant desires. This is the path to happiness and survival.
