Why God's Kingdom IS NOT in the Real World (and How We Could Bring It)

Jesus Christ tells us https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+20%3A1-16&version=NIV The Kingdom of Heaven is like ... a farm-owner who pays the same wage to-workers who worked all day as to -workers who only worked an hour.
Maybe that'll work for him the first day, but people would not be wise to work for the guy 'all day' the next day when they know they're getting paid the same amount for nothing!
Workers in 'That Kingdom' would be mindless (unless they were working for 'the satisfaction of helping The Kingdom' and didn't care about 'payment').
That shows me that--like Adam Conover says the economy is shifting--the children of God are not 'the workers' in Heaven, but are more like 'the managers' ("overseers"?)---operating & maintaining the mindless machines.

Sometimes I do question the purpose of our existence and get into a deep thinking process about the relationship of God with humans.
When people say, its all written in our fate, its all destiny, i wonder why it is destiny. If its written/destined, why should someone work for it, they just go there and accomplish because its written.
When something bad happen, they say it isnt destined, then why do we pray to god?
Are we slaves? Are we puppets in the hands of god?
If God is our king, then should he not lead us and not treat us like slaves making us do whatever he think is right?
I have no idea, its all so confusing and when you sit back and start thinking, everything becomes void.
