Business Is Not Evil. Mental Slavery Is

In India, business is treated like a dirty word.
Say you’re an entrepreneur and people silently add “scammer, black money, illegal” after your name.
Say you have a job and suddenly you’re “safe”, “settled”, “responsible”.

Funny thing?
Most people who hate business have never done business.

The Job Comfort Zone Trap

India trains people beautifully for one thing: obedience.

From school to college to office:

• Follow syllabus
• Follow boss
• Follow process
• Follow appraisal cycle

No questions. No curiosity. No risk.

Most job-holders don’t solve problems.
They wait for instructions.

Thinking out of the box?
That box is the job.

So they upgrade titles:
Junior → Senior → Manager → Senior Manager
And one fine day… retired.

Then comes the shock.

Retirement Is the Biggest Scam Nobody Talks About

People say, “After retirement I will enjoy life.”

Reality:

• Body aches
• Brain slows down
• Routine vanishes
• Purpose disappears
• Hospital becomes the new office

Why?

Because for 30–40 years, life was outsourced to a job.
Suddenly, there’s nothing to report to.

In private jobs, it’s worse:

• No pension
• No job security
• Lifestyle drops overnight
• Even ex-CEOs downgrade life once perks vanish

The chair gave power — not the person.

Business Keeps You Alive (Literally)

Business doesn’t retire you.
Business keeps you active till your last breath.

• You move
• You meet people
• You think
• You adapt
• You solve problems daily

Your brain doesn’t rot.
Your body doesn’t freeze.

You’re not waiting for Monday.
You’re building something — every day.

Entrepreneurs Are a Different Species

Entrepreneurs are not movie villains with black money briefcases.

They are people who:

• Think independently
• Spot problems others ignore
• Start with low or zero income
• Are ready to lose 10–15 years of life upfront
• Build something from nothing

Most job-holders won’t survive one year of uncertainty.
Entrepreneurs survive a decade of it.

That’s the difference.

Yes, Evil Exists. Everywhere.

Let’s be clear:

• There are evil business people
• There are corrupt government officers
• There are toxic corporate climbers
• There are colleagues who cheat their way up

Evil is not a profession.
It’s a personality.

Business is no more evil than a corporate office with politics, backstabbing, and red tape.

Stop romanticising jobs as “pure” and demonising business as “dirty”.

Why It’s Called Business Class (Not Employee Class)

Ever noticed something strange on flights?

There is:

• Business Class
• Economy Class

Not:

• Employee Class

This isn’t branding. It’s history.

Business class was created for people whose time was more valuable than money:

• Business owners
• Decision-makers
• Deal closers
• People who needed rest to perform, not just survive

They paid more because:

• One deal could cover the ticket
• One meeting could change companies
• Time loss was costlier than ticket price

Economy class?
Built for mass movement. Efficiency. Numbers.

That’s the blunt truth airlines won’t say out loud.

The Indian Lie We Were Sold

India teaches:

“Do a job, retire, then enjoy life.”

That enjoyment rarely comes.

The truth:

• Money lasts longer in business
• Purpose lasts longer in business
• Activity lasts longer in business
• Identity lasts longer in business

Jobs give comfort.
Business gives continuity.

Final Reality Check

If business was truly evil,
India wouldn’t worship:

• Founders
• Industrialists
• Startup success stories
• Unicorn builders

We secretly admire them.
Publicly we shame them.

Because deep down, we know:

• Business demands courage
• Jobs demand compliance

And courage always scares the comfortable.

Business is not evil.
Fear of thinking independently is.
