How it feels after being emotionally/mentally castrated

You are a utility.
Let me show you a video of renowned actor and body builder Arnold Schwarzenegger:
Pretty awe-inspiring, isn't it?
I'm sure most of you have been hearing the same message from everyone whenever there was the question of attaining success: hard work hard work and hard work. Something that most people won't do. After all, we humans tend to choose the easiest way out of any situation. We like to get things done while exerting the least amount of strain on our physical selves. In fact, there is a popular saying in pop culture: if you have to choose between hiring an active vs a lazy fellow, choose the lazy one, because often times, the lazy person will find the easiest way to do the job.
If that is true, then why do the forces of universe tend to reward the one who logs extra hours of work on his shift?
The answer is pretty straight-forward. The universe doesn't see you as a 'being with feelings and emotions'.
The world doesn't give a shit about your well-being or your health.
What they do give a shit about, is how much you can 'produce'. How much you let others use yourself as a tool to fulfill their own needs, achieve their own goals.
You are a utility. And a pretty good one at that. Usually, a non-living utility cannot take its own decisions. A hammer cannot guide itself to strike at the nail, no, it needs a human being with a brain to pick up that hammer and ram that nail in. Well, a self-guiding hammer would be cool, no doubt, and that's exactly the reality towards which we are heading, with the dawning of AI technology.
But until then, your body, your effort, your hard work, your muscle strength, and your will power to grind yourself into your work, menial or otherwise, is what the world needs.
The more you grind, the more you will be rewarded.
Then there's some people who preach that "you live only once. Live for yourself." I'm here to tell you that its all a sham.
You never live for yourself. You're living for somebody else. You're living so that you can be a component in this huge machine that spins the wheel of society.
You are valuable. But not in the way you think.
You see, things like gold and diamond has an intrinsic value.
They are valuable because of their appearance. Their shine. Their twinkles. You don't ascribe the value of those things to their utility.
But you're not gold. You're not a diamond. You are metal. You are like iron or steel. You are in great abundance, and the only way you could become valuable is if you provide some kind of value to another person.
Unhappy with your life? Don't dream. Work. Failing to bag that deal? You're not putting in the extra effort. Failing in your career? Seems like your dreams are out of reach? You're not trying hard enough.
Work Work and Work. Grind Grind and Grind. Work your butt off. Like Arnold says in the video, be like Muhammad Ali. Don't start counting until it starts to hurt.
The universe cannot absorb your efforts. It has to give you some sort of reward of equal value in return. Like Sir Newton said, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. I'd go one step further and say: The magnitude of the reaction will always be equal to the magnitude of the said action.
Take massive action. Work hard and work smart. But work you must. View yourself as a utility. Treat every obstacle you face as just a bump on the road. Treat failure as an occupational hazard, something you need to get through mandatorily in order to get what you want in life.
Do that, and everything else will follow.
Peace.

"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion. "
This is a popular Quote by Albert Camus, a famous French Philosopher. When I first came across this quote, it really did hit me hard. Read them again, they are quite empowering/ After all, who doesn't want to be "free"?
Freedom, as it turns out, is something that sells very well among most kinds of people. Mainstream sources like to cook up various stories and draw analogies about how we are living our 'mundane lives' in an 'unfree world', and then suddenly, someone somewhere does something extraordinary to free himself or herself from the chains that bind him/her to mediocrity. Oh! How awesome does it feel to read or see those stories!
This quote takes the idea one step further: you don't need to do anything to free yourself; your mere existence if enough to get the job done. Wow! Pretty empowering.
But I'm not here to talk about bullshit internet stories or mainstream propaganda. I am here to talk about real chains, real issues, real problems that we the modern generation face in our lives. Sometimes we are responsible for weaving the very web that binds us, and we spend decades trying to unweave that, and free ourselves from our own indulgences.
We live in a world where news ideas hatch every day, knowledge is manufactured at a faster pace than we could distribute them; and the world is full of people living along a very broad spectrum of thinking. I am not here to start any activism, rather I am here to try and uncover the truths of life and lay them out, raw and bare as much as they could get.
This is Deus Phyllis, and I am here to make you think and cringe, and hopefully help you see the world with a brand new set of eyes.
Peace.
