Do you ever get the guilts when you aren't doing anything? Can you sit on the couch without feeling like you should be doing something?

I can't, and most people I know can't. Capitalist culture insists we must be productive because when we aren't producing we aren't valuable. Economic systems are political and social, but we're so used to capitalism we can't see how it impacts our mental health.

We are heavily impacted by our environment, and capitalism's objective is to pursue wealth/capital. It influences every aspect of life. Everything is centered around making money. We prepare for a career/paycheck throughout childhood and then we endlessly try to make money.
