(no subject)

This world is simply a brutal place. It's completely unforgiving; everything has been commodified. When one seeks to better oneself, accredited tools of the establishment capitalize on one's desire. If one chooses not to better oneself, one will most likely be forced into low-wage, low-skill servitude, with little hope of escape. If one chooses to specialize in a trade, even that will be capitalized upon. There is no escape from capitalism here. Every aim, goal, desire and skill has a price tag associated with it.

Frankly, I find it totally abhorrent and I really have no idea how to reconcile that.
