What our eyes see is really there, hustle and bustle
Sometimes I whisper to myself: I truly cannot comprehend… how every person in this world must carry the weight of their own fate.
From the homeless who wander without shelter, to the rickshaw driver pedaling through exhaustion, to the scavenger surviving on scraps, to the middle class living “just enough,” and finally to the upper class enjoying privilege through wealth and connections — each one bears a different burden.
The Chain of Social Reality
Life feels like a circular chain that must not break.
- The poor need work.
- The rich need labor.
- The middle class sustain the rhythm of consumption and production.
Each class has a role, though not equal. And this chain, however unfair, is what maintains stability and peace in society.
The Role of Each Social Class
- The lower class: the labor, the foundation. They fill the informal, unseen jobs. Without them, the economy halts. They are the heroes of stability, though rarely acknowledged.
- The middle class: the balancers. Strong enough to endure, weak enough to keep striving. They stabilize society through consumption, taxes, and participation.
- The upper class: the controllers. They hold capital, networks, and access. They can create opportunities, but also monopolies. Their role shapes the system’s direction.
Without one, the chain falters. The world cannot function as it should without those who occupy the bottom.
Why Lower Classes Struggle in Career Paths
I often wonder why the career paths of the lower classes lean so heavily toward the informal sector. The reasons are clear:
- Limited education: quality schooling is out of reach.
- Minimal capital: without savings or assets, they cannot enter formal business.
- Weak connections: social networks that open opportunities are often absent.
- Environmental influence: brainwashing in the form of static thought patterns and an environment that forces him to accept the truth of what must be accepted.
So they remain in informal work: rickshaw drivers, street vendors, day laborers. Not because they lack effort, but because the system closes its doors.
Natural selection within stability only allows a small percentage of society to rise — those whose mindset evolves, who dare to break boundaries. The rest remain as the foundation, carrying the weight.
The Complexity of the World System
Sometimes the world system sounds so complex, almost like a puzzle with no solution. Injustice, inequality, the unbroken social chain. Yet when I reflect, I realize: it all formed naturally.
Over time, the position of the lower classes may shift, perhaps not as severe as in the past. But they will always exist. It is difficult to say that the poor are “maintained” for certain interests, but reality shows they remain part of the mechanism of stability.
And we must reflect: humans are not immortal. The comfort we enjoy today stands upon the hard work of those living on the other side — those who do not live comfortably.
I’m not saying this is an economic concept, although it sounds like the capitalist principle that -if you can pay it, you’ll get what you deserve.
Empathy and Reflection
I feel empathy, because I cannot do much to make them appear worthy. But I can offer insight: that a small portion of people can be enlightened, can find their own way out, if they realize that fate is not absolute destiny.
at least we can extend various kinds of assistance that are useful for them, they are happy, things become lighter but don’t form a pattern of dependency.
For those of you who are struggling, accept this moment, but consider changing slowly by utilizing what we have and can, both energy, thoughts and insights, and building networks.
Don’t limit yourself to potential, because there are no main characters in this world, we are just NPCs collectively.
I believe we come and go in this world not without a purpose, define that purpose well.
Closing Metaphor
I imagine society as a great pyramid.
- At the base, millions bear the weight of the structure, though their lives are full of hardship.
- In the middle, those who struggle “just enough” keep balance.
- At the top, a few enjoy the view, privilege, and power.
The pyramid cannot stand without its base. The peak cannot exist without the foundation. And every person, whether they like it or not, is part of this structure.
“Fate is a pyramid: heavy at the bottom, light at the top. Yet only with all its layers can the world remain standing. And those who carry the heaviest burdens are the heroes of stability, allowing us to live in peace.”
