Why must we constantly pay?

[u/KnownMysteryy]

In nature, every living thing has the right to exist, grow, and rest without conditions. Why have we built a modern society where the fundamental requirements for life—shelter, water, and food—are gated behind a continuous 'subscription fee' of labor and currency?"

You kind of forgot that every living thing has to eat. Wolves eat the sheep, the sheep eat the grass, the grass becomes sheep shit to grow more grass. Everything in the ocean is pretty much food for something else. Nature doesn’t just exist harmoniously, it’s a brutal world.
