its the root of what capitalism is all about; whereby an employer removes the factory worker from the end result of what they produce and creates profit from their exploitation.
In a capitalist world we are constantly at war with ourselves because the culture denies our humanity and our role in society by insisting on a false notion of individualism and heirarchy which is based largely upon financial status.
There is a huge contradiction in that we work (for a relative pittence) to produce for someone else who sells at a huge gain whilst we are left struggling at the bottom of the ladder buying the products we have been exploited to produce, its a vicious circle.
Now that perhaps is exaggerated in terms of what we do but the foundation is the same, it is this basis which breeds discontentment and inner turmoil though often people dont analize themselves enough to realise it, they simply find the need to earn more which keeps them in the circle, a circle which is almost impossible to break unless you are able to completely remove oneself from the system otherwise you are fighting fire with fire.
