That's not what this is about. This is about there being a psychological strain.

I can assure you that there is a lot more psychological and physical strain in monotonous physical work. A month in a factory made me appreciate my desk job in IT like nothing else in the world. Obviously burn out exists and destroys your motivation and ability to do things.

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It's different. You shouldn't compare suffering.

[–] esc@piefed.social 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

If someone has their leg broken with bone sticking out and another person who fell and now has a broken skin on their hands I should assume they feel more or less the same and shouldn't compare?

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That's not an apt comparison as we are comparing fundamentally different suffering/challenges.

[–] esc@piefed.social 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

So we shouldn't compare some but should compare other types of suffering?

I mean there are far more challenging and demading types of work that don't require physical labour. Streeming/being youtube personality is one of the least demanding and challenging work there is.

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You shouldn't compare different kinds of suffering as if they were suffering of the same kind.

A mangled arm is much different from being very severely depressed. Yet you might struggle to say which is worse.

[–] esc@piefed.social 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I didn't, actually compared similar things both times.

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You compared a leg sticking out and broken skin.

[–] esc@piefed.social 1 points 5 days ago

They are essentially the same, both are kinds of physical injury.
