      Work is a curse. Vocation is a calling. Know the difference. Stop working. Find your vocation.

      Not everyone is lucky enough to get paid a living wage for something they'd otherwise do for free. And if not, then finding a vocation is merely finding a more tolerable curse. A good thing to do, for sure, given the necessity of living... but still less than ideal.

      The big disagreement I have w your stance here, Eddie, is that by embracing the mindset "work is inherently noble", it BECOMES so, and becomes more fun / tolerable / whatever. >>>

      Picture a chubby guy out running, saying to himself "You know, this is better than I expected. Actually I'm kind of enjoying it. Not all of it, but there are good parts and I -" and then you're the kid saying "don't lie to yourself. Every little bit of it is hell. HELL !!!!!"

      Replying to @MorlockP @SpoonerWasRight @ItsRobbAllen

      If someone is telling THEMSELVES they're enjoying it, I'll never contradict them. I'm against telling EVERYONE ELSE "Hey, you're going to spend forty or fifty years of your life doing things you don't like so you can put food on the table, and that's AWESOME!"

      Then it's all about perspective. You will always work, always. You can never, ever, ever, get away from it no matter how hard you try (which is also work). The happier man learns to find purpose in this.

      Okay, I take it back. This looks like an example of exactly what I'm talking about, right here in this conversation. I don't see much difference between "Shoveling shit is AWESOME!" and "Shoveling shit sucks, but it's awesome to tell yourself it's awesome!"

      I'm not saying that. I'm saying "The effort required to shovel the shit sucks, but the end result is you will have fertilizer for your garden, and the food you grow will be good for you and you will be sustained by it" (1)

      (2) "If you use that effort to build an automated shit shoveller, you will not have to work as hard. It will still be work. Accepting work as a necessity, learning to use the effort to better yourself as a person, taking pride in the effort since you *must* do it, is good"

      Replying to @ItsRobbAllen @MorlockP @SpoonerWasRight

      So, I reject that, because it creates a dangerous confusion between what is valuable - the end result of effort - and what is wasteful - the effort it took to get the value. Take pride in your accomplishments, not in the work, lest you fetishize work rather than accomplishments.

      Disagree strongly, but no time to get into it now.

          Then later, perhaps, if you like. Feel free to jump to email.
