You don’t have to work. No one has to work. If no one works, how do you eat? What do you wear? Maybe if you thought about others as much as you obsess over yourself, you’d see why work is a good idea. You work to help others, they work to help you. You don’t like helping others? You don’t like people helping people?
Then you are selfish and why should anyone feed and clothe you? Are you to be placed above everyone else? Why? Maybe no one should work for a year so we can see how that “works”. You can start now and see how it “works” for you!

” You work to help others, they work to help you. “

First you must work in order to produce enough value to cover your own necessities. If you don’t do that then you will be a constant burden to others and they will resent your lack of productivity.

Then you encourage others to produce enough to cover their own necessities so that they are not a burden to you and you will not resent their lack of productivity.

Next you incentivize people to increase their productivity by allowing them to benefit greatly by that increased productivity. You must also work to increase your own productivity.

Only then do you have the luxury of “helping others” and you must be very careful that you do not destroy your earlier accomplishments by being overly generous.
