When people stop wage-slaving and start "fulfillment labour", things won't change much, as the fulfillment-labour (the self-realization via activities one always wanted to pursue) has still been defined in terms of work and jobs. That is: As soon as people stop wage-slaving, the "real work" they thought they've been "meant" to do, disappears as well. Which is why many people in unemployment suffer so much.
IMO, at the base lies a pretty simply question: As people learnt to "define" themselves via their wage-slaving/job/fulfillment-labour, their personality crumbles when they are no longer capable of doing that. Thus the important question becomes:
"Who am I when I can no longer define myself via my job/fulfillment-labour?"
In order for people to get rid of their addiction to work (*not*: workaholism, but their dependence on defining themselves via their activities and achievements), the 4-day working week will be a necessary step towards making people incrementally get used to a state of being in which they don't "define" themselves via their activity any more.
The next step is the dissolution of "defining through one's own activity" towards "defining through activity at all", regardless whether it's "here" or "there". Then definitions like those through ones's relationships, what one has in common with others, etc., may arise
Only then are people allowed to take up a pen or a chisel again. :-) When their activity is beyond addiction.
Still standing, tenacious vis-à-vis change, full of appeals to practical constraints and force. The world, I mean, not the smiles, at times, esp. when things reappear in a different light, deeping understanding and appreciation – for that very same old world.
To me, writing in English comes naturally (irrespective of the grammatical and lexical quality of my sentences). Although it often borders on Denglish, writing in my native tongue always felt awkward and like I'm suffering from autoglossophobia – the fear of one's own langauge. In English I feel far more at ease.
I can understand that people like to switch languages, even in one sentence, in particular when it comes to precision in describing things or evoking feelings. But I rarely do that now. I had this inclination more often when I was more fluent in Spanish than I am today, so that I could switch between three languages. Still, German has been the least favorable one of all three.
@akwala Every new account is sent an email for confirmation, and only after that confirmation you are able to post notices. You've got the emails (2 for 4slam and 1 for a k wala), or you would not have been able to post anything.
After that, new accounts are required to reply to the notice here, at gnusocial.net, just as a measure to check that you've read the TOS and to be sure that you are not a bot. Then your account is unsandboxed (so it appears in public timelines).
Now that you've replied, I can see you are not a bot. I can unsandbox this account, or you can open another one with "4slam" nickname, as you wish. But the other two you opened with "4slam" were deleted after one month of not replying; they can not be recovered.
I hope it is clearer now; please let me know what you decide.
