In the Book of Genesis, God planted the forbidden tree into the middle of the garden. He told the innocent human couple that they shall not eat its fruits or they shall die.
By putting sparkling lights and an “eat me” table on it, God made the tree easy to recognise. Still, he wasn’t sure that the humans possessed the required brain capacity themselves to eat the fruit. Since he does not throw dice, he set up the sneaky Snake for convincing them.
After his plan had been executed, God asked Adam and Eve what they were expecting as a punishment.
“We were expecting death, even though we had no idea what death might be. Would you please enlighten us?”, said Adam.
“Ha-ha. Sure, you will die at the end. But not now. That would be too quick. I have another idea. Before you die you’ll have to work for your food. I’ll make it so hard that you’ll become hurt and frustrated again and again.”
Now, you don’t have to be Christian or Jewish to grasp this. You don’t have to believe it at all.
What you have to understand is that one of the oldest and the most influential book of the human history states on its first page that working for your food is the punishment that God has given humanity in addition to the death. It’s a curse. It’s the symbol of the broken connection between the Creator and the Creature.
This isn’t quite a proper telling of the biblical record, you should read the original.
Please also know that in Jesus, God has redeemed us for a renewed life. We are free from fallen from perfection curses and death.
God’s 1st commands are to love Him (serve God and follow His wisdom and morals for our own good) and love one another (and love our husband/wife as our own selves).
There are a lot of things wrong with our current society that is a sin against one another. Taxes, inflation, bad food, bad medicine. I’m a young adult too and I know it’s a lot. Best I can say for now maybe, pursue personal freedom best you can. Learn and try to become financially as feee as you can. Get connected with people who are also on that wavelength. May God bless you will strength and peace and purpose.

Someone downvoted you lol. Again truth. I like how you para phrased it. That should upset a few of the hardcore...
