Is it work to live or live to work?

In Kindergarten we were told we could be whatever we wanted when we grew up.

What they meant was we could either become sheep which helps the rich become richer or a wolf and be outcasted from society.

In the society that we live in you are lucky if you made it were you work to live because you're more then likely to be living to work.

It's like a game of hungry, hungry hippos.

Is it even possible to get out ahead without selling your left kidney?

How did we get to the point of society of being in the Hunger games?

No one cares about your feelings, thoughts and opinions but everyone seems to have feelings, thoughts and opinions about you.

Funny thing about this is, there is nothing you can do about it, besides sucking it up and getting back in line, you sheep- bbaaahhhh!
