> but they have been replaced by other types of jobs in the cities.

But when one is 30+ years old, or even 40+ years old, it's hard to completely switch careers, especially when you're also dealing with the fact that it's not because you were bad at your job. Rather, a machine was made to replace you and you simply can't compete with a machine.

It's evolution, of course, but it is a stressful process.



Even if one is able to switch careers in their 40s and 50s, it is sad that they’re forced to do so, just to eat and have a roof over their head.

Nearly all humans work for money (aka, just basic stuff) and not because they’re passionate about their work. It is just a sad situation all around
