Is This the World that We Want to Live?

It becomes harder and harder to believe if there is ever non-exploitative means of labor when we start thinking about exploitation of labor. It is not just a maid or domestic worker who is subject to exploitation of labor: so are we. We get a degree, and then work for a corporation, for example; yes, we dedicate time and energy for the organization and the stockholders or owners of the company to make more profit. If we ever work for someone else's company, that is what happens. Hey, then, we should all start up our own companies; yes, we would still get taxed by the government, and not all of us would become billionaires, which means we would be very much likely to be subject to further exploitation by investors, banks, and whoever is helping us out with money issue and looking at you from one step higher.

Okay, that may be extreme. Why don't we think of ourselves as billionaires? All right, let's say we became free from being exploited with abundance of wealth through business. But, now, we have to exploit others to maintain our business going, which is inevitable and unavoidable because we do not want ourselves or families to be exploited by others if we have a choice. Does this mean that life is either we exploit or be exploited; nonetheless, that's how the world works, right?
