I get angry with myself whenever I’m forced to face the realization of how programmed I’ve become – while ideals of peace and security are great, what I want is «comfort» – to be able to relax and futz around with whatever you want without all the daily worries and todo lists constantly niggling at the back of my mind – I find a distraction and start to get into the flow, the stress lifts just for a moment – and then the phone rings – and not just the stress and the worries, but also the guilt all come tumbling back – guilt at not being productive, guilt at not being a good worker, guilt at letting coworkers down – capitalist guilt that doesn’t matter but that I’ve been exposed to for so long I can’t shake it
