Create Your Own Game

If the day feels like play,
and the game is just hard enough
so that you consistently have to level up by 1% each day,
meaning is found.

If the day feels like toil,
and the work is just tolerable enough
so that you consistently show up to check boxes,
meaning is lost.

In a modern world that maximizes productivity
and neglects leisure,
you are going to have to find a way
to create your own game.

If the game that is rigged against you provides no meaning,
why play at all?
