Unemployed Woman Wants Everyone To Die

from THINK BEFORE YOU SLEEP · host THINK BEFORE YOU SLEEP

A woman sits in her apartment. The blinds are drawn. The dishes are piled in the sink. The rent is overdue. She scrolls social media. She sees people on vacation. She sees people buying homes. She sees people getting married. She hates them all. She posts a video. She says she wishes everyone would die. Her followers applaud. Her followers are also unemployed. They are also jealous. They are also stuck.In this episode, I examine the phenomenon of unemployed people who blame society for their problems. The woman in this story had been out of work for three years. She had stopped looking. She had stopped trying. She had decided that the world was against her. She was not wrong that the world is unfair. She was wrong that the unfairness was the reason she was unemployed.The episode explores the psychology of resentment and victimhood. The unemployed woman who wants everyone to die is not evil. She is in pain. But her pain is not caused by the people she envies. Her pain is caused by her own choices. The vacationers did not steal her job. The homeowners did not take her money. The newlyweds did not ruin her chances at love. She ruined her own chances. And she cannot admit it.Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and press play because the unemployed woman who wants everyone to die is not a threat. She is a tragedy.
