The inventor of toil..."

Why should we have to work for a living?

    People need to have purpose in order to have a full and valued life experience. Paid or unpaid, we need to have some kind of "work".

    I could be a monkey and work in a zoo for a living.

    I suppose there are people who do exactly that! I guess it's pretty easy work if you've got a knack for it.

      Could I interest you in a task or profession that promises to fulfill you?

    I'll keep you in mind, should my current gig fall through. Go ahead and send the job description and benefits package for me to peruse, though. I'm always striving to keep an open mind!

      I do all of my interviewing in person and at a quiet little getaway location just off the interstate. You’ll get to see the benefits and the package all at once. Wear something frilly, plan to be indisposed for several hours, and take your toothbrush.

    Because doing nothing is extremely boring.

    It is fulltime work at doing nothing.  Try doing it.  Its exhausting. This post was edited by ONeg-84 at July 18, 2021 12:49 PM MDT

    If you love your job, it isn't work. I loved teaching. They just happened to pay me well.
