Organized Suffering

I submit that there are many things that we all do that could be classified as organized suffering. School is the most prominent example that I can think of. Some masochist void of morals and reason sat down and came up with the format years ago, sad and alone. This person was alone because of their general lack of joy. Their thought process must have gone something like this. . . lets have them write notes on total crap. . . balancing heavy books on tiny desks. . . with boring teachers. . . etc. etc. etc. The suffering has become more subtle over time they used to use the paddle, but then that became to obvious. Work can be organized suffering on some days for all of us. Alarm clocks are basically a habit of organized or requested suffering. Yet, we keep setting them so we don't miss our organized suffering. We would not want to be late.
