The modern worker isn't really living.

We just follow our routines which are forced upon us to afford to survive. We're all sheep in a herd, alive but dead inside. Existing without truly living.

As long as everything in life relies upon money, we'll be stuck in this boring dystopia forever.

Nah, the real message is some people wake up at a reasonable time, get a tasty breakfast in peace, have access to public transportation, then get to spend time in nature with their friends, no litter or pollution in sight. And somehow they still think life is shit and find a reason to complain instead of appreciating the gifts life has given them.
