generally by knowing that whether they liked it or not it was that or starving during the winter.

They looked forward to small, simple comforts, the promise of a positive afterlife, and festival days where they could drink and make merry with others.

why cant I drink and make merry all the time
work gets in the way of that
whenever I do drink and make merry I cant enjoy it because I think about tomorrow but if I stop thinking about tomorrow I cant work and if I dont work I lose any chance to drink and make merry

>>16549086
They half-assed and committed time theivery whenever possible so that by the end of the work day they were still sane and got a paycheck out of it

If you wanted to be an unpleasant person though then you could just get through work with clenched teeth until you got home to vent about it for hours to your wife and family. People do the same shit today except on social media instead, and they are equally as unpleasant.
