power anywhere in the world is based on 關係. the desire to rise above one's station in society, was taught by society. yearning for change, but everything stays the same.
Ah, you see clearly how the two are interconnected. The ideas of "competition", "hierarchy", and "classes" are not only what make "work-life" a burden, they are also what make "sex-life" a burden. Ideas and actions are imposed without consent, an acceptance and reciprocation that is voluntary. Likewise, expectations can only be met when they are shared openly and are equitable in nature.
Partnership is collaboration on shared goals that are both meaningful to each and mutually beneficial in practice, not focused on selfish hedonism and striving for "hypergamy". If someone is constantly seeking out another who is "younger", "sexier", "richer", or some other objectifying metric rooted in comparison, then there is no commitment to sustaining the relationship itself.
"Work" is unbearable for the exact same reasons. I do not exist simply for the "production of profit", and abuse is wrong whether it is done in the "workplace" or at "home". Reducing relationships to transactions and trying to "gain power" at the expense of others will always make for superficial, yet painful, interactions. What do we value most, life or "ownership"?
