5. We Are All Essentially Delivery Boys
For Fry, life and work is mainly made up of delivering things to their destinations. It interesting note that the sate of a delivery boy is a fairly sad one: they spend their time delivering the things that they want to other people. It's like working in an airport and watching others embark on the holidays that you would dream of going on. To a lesser or greater extent (and in a pretty abstract kind of way) we all often feel like this - having to watch people who aren't ourselves enjoy the tings we want, whatever they might be. Sometimes, like a delivery boy, it's us who help those people get those desired things, with us receiving none of the reward. It's a fairly strange way of looking at it, but think about it on bigger scale: buy something from Amazon and what you end up doing is helping deliver the Amazon top-dogs to even more amazing riches than they had before, while all you get in return is a scratched DVD. This isn't some anti-capitalist nonsense, it's just an observation.
