A great musician once asked, "If you could make everybody work, while you just laid on your back, would you do it?". I find this to be a great moral dilemma that really shows the laziness of today's society. I can tell you one thing, many of us would say yes. One example is on instructables.com. It's a website dedicated to, you guessed it, instructing people on projects and how to do things. By searching just for a little bit, you can at least find one person commenting on a project asking the creator of the project, well, how much could I pay you to build this thing for me? Another is just personal experience. I, for one, would not miind if I had some one else type of my Math Portfolio and my Theory of Knowledge journals while I just got to relax. But, is that really right? I mean, isn't that our whole problem with monarchies, the king just relaxes in luxioury, while the peasants do all the manual labor?I Isn't that why the lower class has such a huge problem with the upper class? The lower class claims they do much more work, but are paid less and get less free time. We live in such a hypocritical society, don't we? Well, the great musician went on to say, "We cannot know ourselves, or what we'd really do with all our power". Seems spot on.
