No Interest in Work

I Don't Feel Like Going to Work

Everyone knows it and thinks it at least once a week. Rather stay in bed, do nothing and just drift through the day. But that has less to do with having no interest in work and more to do with the fact that a phase like this is part of life. Most people pull themselves together after all and take their usual route to work.

What If the Phase Becomes a Habit?

Usually a person starts early on to have no interest in the "normal" things in life. School gets skipped, homework doesn't get done, soccer practice is canceled out of "lack of motivation". By the time school is over at the latest, everyone should think about what comes next. If you keep calling in sick during your apprenticeship and simply show no interest in the work, it gets harder and harder in the long run to keep up. But many also choose to stay in school longer or go on to some other kind of schooling after their regular school years, because they have no interest in work for now. That's how you scrape from one phase of life to the next without noticing that the phase is no longer a phase at all, but a habit.

No Interest in Work - Supported by the System

There will always be people who don't have a job, not because they have no interest, but because perhaps fate, through illness or other special life circumstances, has intended it that way for them. It should be noted briefly that depression, for example, prevents a person from working not because they have no interest in working, but because they are ill and often don't even have the strength to get dressed in the morning.

But the majority of the unemployed have no interest in work, and the system supports "no interest" extremely well. A popular saying in the media: "Why should I go to work, the government pays my rent anyway". Exactly, why should you be interested in earning your own money when it's so easy to do nothing all day and still get money for it.

Conclusion

Many children today already grow up with the idea that you don't have to work to have an apartment and food. They mostly see it from their parents or close relatives. At the same time, these little people don't understand that, first, work lets you not only make social contacts but also makes you independent through a steady, regular income. Because you can definitely afford more when you receive more than just basic benefits from the government.
