Many of the problems in society is because people want to take it easy. That's human nature. We are not like Greek Spartans who trained everyday to prepare themselves for combat. Slavery was caused by the dominant, conquering tribe not wanting to do the drudge work of building pyramids, temples, or to cultivate fields for food. But that's "human" nature. In "real" nature, plants, for example, go through a lot of stress and work to emerge from the ground and become fruitful. Many plants don't make it but those that do are DNA'd to survive through the weather, rain (or lack of it) and other conditions that are forthcoming. The process of struggling builds the character of the plant just like struggling to use injured muscles leads to full use of those muscles. In fact, if you discover a job that is a natural outlet for your talents in addition to physical work skills (gardening, painting, auto mechanics, etc.) you'll will have initially worked hard to acquire those skills but once done, all the employment tasks and household tasks will become easy because you are now prepared. But because humans don't want to take on the struggle of surviving, they find manmade alternatives: like government jobs with good perceived pensions and benefits, and getting a college degree as a way of avoiding physical work. Physical work performed for a living, by the way, isn't a sign of low intelligence. Physical work is probably important because it nags to get done. Once a person gets a college degree, they've pretty much guaranteed their enslavement. Ask a person with a college degree to drive a bus, be a mechanic, be a landscaper, a plumber, or carpenter etc. and the echoes of their public school teachers and parents echoes through their head like the empty school hallways. "You're wasting your life and talents. I've invested time and money to educate you and you throw it all away!" Am I right? This is all part of the brainwashing children go through that affects adulthood choices to explore other possibilities and take chances to better themselves. Despising physical work, even if it is chores around the house to save money, denies people of the necessary survive skills that they could use should our nation undergo a financial collapse. Other liabilities of a nation sold on avoidance of physical work are a growing military force as people choose to enlist, more civil service workers, less manufacturing as the call for craft men go unanswered and a growing population increasingly depended on the government. This is the welfare state; the danger of which is that the majority will support any military involvement that the evil government doers undertake and those will dissenting opinions will be silenced for fear of loss of government benefits.
