It’s easy to get weighed down in the day to day drudgery of work when you do the same job for countless weeks, months, and years.
But if you step back and look at all of the benefits you get from the job then maybe you’ll be grateful for having an income at all.
I watched a documentary last night on homeless drug addicts in Canada and the life they lead is scary to say the least. Many of them died from overdoses trying to escape the hell that their reality has become, so next time you are at your local business doing your work remember how much better you have it in your air conditioned office than these poor people on the brutal streets of the city. In the winter it must get so biting cold outside and probably the only way to escape it is to get all drugged up and numb the senses, when all we have to do is touch a button on our HVAC system or let our smart thermostat do the work. I get a bit bored and impatient with writing articles like this all of the time, but if I step back and look at the big picture it puts things into perspective for me so that I can work in a more calm manner. I only work two hours a day writing about space heaters and a/c units, so that sounds pretty good to me and I am going to be more appreciative of the work life I have carved out for myself.
