Quote:Is most work really meaningful?
If you can do something that you truly enjoy and make money and be happy, then by all means do so. However, I think most people really hate having to "work". Nobody, enjoys having some ass wipe telling them what to do, do they? Have you ever seen most people at "work". They don't really look to happy, unless they love what they do.
Money is nice and you can buy nice stuff with, but it really isn't the meaning of life, is it?
Money is , supposedly, the measure by which you describe your value to society, but one's true value to society is the work which they accomplish. Work is most enjoyable when one understands their value to society, and , of course, one would assume that is a person does more important work, then their value to society is greater, and thus that person is more at peace. But how do we deem relevance and/or importance to work? Is it more important to feed a person at McDonalds or is it more important to save the life of a person at a hospital so that the person can continue to eat at McDonalds? It might be more important to feed someone at McDonalds if you were feedings someone as important as an actor or a president than if you were to save the life of a serial killer. But, then again, how do we deem the importance of that person being fed or being saved?
