Abstract

In a time where “you can” has replaced “you must,” this essay traces the deep exhaustion of the 21st century —fatigue that no sleep can cure, because it comes from within. Through philosophy, cultural critique, and songs that flare like sparks, it exposes self-exploitation disguised as freedom and questions the manufactured happiness of the new order. Between ideas and chords, a fragile hope emerges: to unfit in order to truly belong. To reclaim leisure, contemplation, and mystery as acts of resistance in a world that demands constant availability.
