Work is human’s most important assignment according to the Creator’s design, as our great-grand parent Adam, supported by his partner Eve, was commissioned.
Work is the only means by which that great commission to multiply creation/nature can be fulfilled. The reason why one feels unfulfilled without one.
Work therefore is a must for everyone, whether big or small, young or old, beautiful or ugly, man or woman, lazy or deligent.
Work comes in different forms; they are as different and abundant as there are plants and animals in the ecosystem.
Work matches the unique and diverse talents endowed humanity such that all creation will get their due attention.
Work, if not done, would result in physical bodily problems/ maladies.
Work is therefore expected to be first to be performed, followed by food, then rest and entertainment, and sleep finally.
Work need not be hard or difficult, but enjoyable; but it seems entertainment has displaced work in importance.
Work unfortunately has not so far got the deserved attention and upgrade, compared to entertainment like soccer/football, music, and movies; particularly in Africa and other developing nations.
From those barefoot-players era to now that even the hair of players is given some protection, etc. some economies are today still depending on same outmoded tools and manpower to farm etc.
If we are to consign all chores to machines/robots so we can relax and chat only to do workouts at gyms for our health, then let us so decide and fairly arrange it.
For a fair balance whichever way, will be more helpful for both humanity and our environment/planet however affordable it would be to all.
Meanwhile let us not ignore the reality that the restoration of the environment is in serious arrears. It behoves on right thinking and selfless citizens of the Global Village (Globaville) to redirect their engineering prowess towards this restoration business. Did we not over-exploit to deplete our natural resources to get us here; so who are we looking up to?
Redirection of a fraction of the resources for entertainment at present could do a lot in this restoration task. Let us give work its due position on our scale of attention.
