One of many things I heard as a kid and went "wtf, no"

Same with a 40-hour, 40-year career. You mean I have to follow all these adult rules, go to school 6 hours a day all these years feeling like I'm in prison... To graduate to literal slavery or else... Prison? When does living actually come in?

5 year old me already wondered what the point was and knew I wanted off the ride. Not necessarily in a depressed way, but a way that said "this ain't it, chief".

7 year old me heard the plan for life, and immediately got depressed

42 year old me is depressed.

Early adolescence and the dot com bubble gave me the impression that the world used to suck, but now it would be sick. It got too sick, too nasty.
