I used to wonder the same thing a lot. This 9 to 5 life isnt even natural and we're living in a system thats a 100 years old. Then I finally realised that if I play the game, make a wage off something boring, then I can invest my time and money into my own passions and be my own boss. Now I live as a deejay and dance for passion and encourage everyone to be own their own boss. Because the question I ask to everyone is "how long do you want to make other people rich, before you make yourself rich?"
The image reminds me of the rat race we all sometimes get caught in
