1. Let's say you're trapped with a bunch of people on a tropical island. You've all accounted for each other working together to survive except for two people. Call them Dick and Bob. Now neither do anything actually intolerable, but Dick is a horrible person, who leers at the women and spits at the men. He poops in strange places, and likes to cut down fruit trees so nobody can eat. Bob on the other hand sings the children to sleep in front of the campfire. He helps people without asking anything in return. He's a prototypical gentleman, loved by all.
2.  
3. Obviously at the end of the day you're going to give Bob his share of the food and kick Dick out of the gathering area. But one day Dick gets an idea. He goes down to the beach and gets a big rock, then sits there pounding it on a bigger rock, until it has crumbled. Then he gets another rock and continues doing it. That night at the gathering area, everyone welcomes Dick and thanks him for his hard work, picking Bob up and throwing him out of the gathering area. Now Bob is concerned about this and says "What the fuck guys?" The reason they now prefer Dick over Bob is because unlike Bob, Dick has a job.

5. Bob can do the same thing of course, which makes people less happy. The children have no one to sing to them. People need help and he can't give it to them. Because he's busy down at the beach pounding rocks. He could decide not to get a job, and continue to help people directly and thanklessly, which makes people not just shun him but hate him, bar him from any food he may try to gather and chase him out of any place he may wish to sleep.

7. Does this situation make any sense at all? Then why the hell do you feel good about yourself for having a job? Why do you avoid people who have no job, and even help the police and the government to prevent them from acquiring what they need. That's stealing right? Well Bob is stealing, while Dick is earning, so doesn't that make earning a living worse than stealing one?
8.  
9. Obviously this is a highly contrived situation, but that very attitude, that work itself has intrinsic value, is one of the biggest factors in the self destructive nature of our society today. Because you give people food who have a job, and chase people down and lock them in jail who do not have a job (and steal food), you're actually ruining your own life, and that of everyone around you. Let me explain.
10.  
11. What you value, what everyone values, is what can be accomplished, not what steps it took to get there. Dick working hard every day doesn't do shit to help you, because at the end of the day all he has is bloody hands and worthless rock bits. A man working in an office for an insurance company giving insurance to a financial trading company investing in Iranian oil reserves doesn't help you one bit. And even if you have insurance with that very company, you pay for that insurance so at the end of the day, you don't owe them anything. Thus guys working for them give you nothing of value.
12.  
13. The problem is inherent in private property. Private property is a wonderful convenience, where if you delineate property lines arbitrarily but roughly fairly, everyone keeps to what's theirs and disputes can be thus resolved. But it's only a convenience. When one guy manages to cook the books so he owns 99% of the property, then you've got people starving on the streets, while he struts on their corpses dining on sausage and caviar. Who are you going to help, the people who would give you food if he had some and work together with you, or this guy who won't give you anything and will leave you with nothing? When there is a disparity in wealth, that is a few own more and the many own little, then you should stop respecting private property. Oh sure you can obey what they force you to, but when they're not around to tighten the leash, you are morally obligated, out of concern for your own survival and the prosperity of all, to fuck those rich guys and help the ones you think will help you in return.
14.  
15. When you work at a job, what do you work for? Money. Unfortunately, as shown above private property itself is ruined due to a massive disparity, and with money it's even worse. There are people with effectively infinite purchasing power, and the only reason your loaf of bread doesn't cost $1,000,000 is because they simply haven't spent it yet! The central bank has been creating money at blinding rates, and so even if private property is evenly distributed, money will always be unreasonably lopsided.
16.  
17. So what ends up happening is we have jobs that pay us money, but the jobs don't do anything useful. They hurt other people, or make people's lives harder. Or they help only horrible people whom we'd rather not have any dealings with. To keep us from just walking away there's a lot of propaganda telling us how work is its own reward. That way we ignore the uncomfortable thoughts about the consequences of our actions and just assume that if we're working hard then we must be doing something right! And conversely, anyone who is not working hard is doing something wrong.
18.  
19. What we need to do is focus on what jobs give us, not whether they count as jobs. When someone doesn't work at all, but still helps you immensely, you actually let them walk out the store with the food. This is not just smiling benevolently and holding your hand out for them to fork over the cash. You actually help these people, because since they helped you, they're likely to do so in the future! When someone does work very hard, and you see either no benefit or more harm from what they do, you have to stop them! Condemn them! They're literally killing you! Sure it might be a death of many small cuts, but it's still death! You have an obligation to yourself and others to at least make them stop.
20.  
21. The good things in life are often only achievable through hard work and perseverence. That doesn't make work good though. It makes work necessary, in order to get what's good. If you want to live the best life possible, for yourself and others, you'll strive to work less in fact! Your goal is to achieve as much as possible in as little work as possible. Because you can always spend your extra time working to, in order to achieve even more, but you can never achieve more if you waste time working on nothing but Trivium.
22.  
23. Stop standing there picking at the mountain with your toothpick. Wake up and look around you! There are people in need of help, desperate need. There are people doing others harm, which you must avoid helping as much as you can manage. And you yourself need help, and have many things you can do to improve yourself as a person, and improve your standing in life. Forget the bean counting since it's just not important to you! It's your work in the same way that it's your slavery, an obligation foisted on you by cruel oppressors. You may have to do it, but you can do it with as little of work as possible, saving your energy and soul for the times when you can escape that trap and do things you actually benefit from.
