    I wouldn’t know the entire context, baka sa socmed nila mas mala. But this particular piece in the link didn’t seem so bad. Or maybe mababa lang comprehension ko.

    But to your point, in the current climate now I feel like putting value in your own mental and emotional state has taken a back seat (over the course of decades) to being “productive” or “earning”. Kaya nagbe-breakdown and nabu-burnout yung iba because there seems to be no end in sight. The glorification of hustle culture makes matters even worse.

    There’s absolutely nothing wrong with taking a break and rewarding yourself from time to time. Lalo na kung makakatulong sa longevity mo in terms of going for your goals.

      Aside from glorifying hustle culture, toxic positive pieces like that fail to point out the resources the “successful” person initially had. Chito comes from a certain clan with money and connections. One might ask, “Why can’t I be successful like them?”, but fails to realize the difference in privileges, it can affect the person’s self-worth.

      What’s worse is that other people might begin to think that poverty is just laziness or a lack of willpower.
