The right to be lazy

This is my very first and very late post. But, contrary to the title of this post, it is not late because I've been lazy....
Anyway, my very first reflection is about this text "Toil and Trouble".It is such a short text, however, there is so much in it that can make the reader confused....confused about what does 'work' and 'job' really mean. This text is an expression of just one man but it can provoke or even force every reader to think and ask questions. What does it realy mean 'to work'? Maybe it means just earning money, maybe it sounds like a mandatory activity that everyone has to perform....
For me, work always meant something I had to and wanted to achieve. Something I had to get. We always say'I want to get a job'. And we want to get a job for different reasons. When I was a young student, I always wanted to get a job because I had to survive somehow.....but years after, I realised I wanted to get a Real Job to summ up and to develop my knowledge, my skills, my ambitions....Waht I mean by a Real Job is the one that can give so called satisfaction, not just in terms of a good money or friendly people. It needs to be something more, or at least it should be. What kind of job ones chooses is of cource an individual matter. But for me a real job is the one that stimulates development and leads to a progression. Intelectual progression.
Nevertheless, having a job and working is not everything about the life. What kind of life is it when you have to work only? There has to be a room for laziness, for doing nothing. Otherwise life can become so much depresing and pointless. Pointless because when you work only, there can be a feeling there is nothing more in this world waiting for you and that there is nothing worth to find out, to be curious about. Beacuse wrok is the only world you can have.

And finally, work is not all about the life. There always needs to be a space in ones life for someone. Someone can be anyone-mother, sister, partner, son, friend, wife......Work is of course not the esence of our life. What the author of this text writes is an important and interesting prepostion- a job is the summit of our lives, the answer. Well, actually it may be but only to some point. I think it is essential not to forget about other people. It is also very important not to stuck so deep into the world of work. Work will never make anyone entirely happy and satisfied. People are not robots or machines that only need to work and work...That's why we need some time and a right to be lazy, to have some time off from work and to spend this time with other people. We need it because our emotions need it. There is no space for emotions at work.

I do not really know if what I wrote does make nay sense but that's what comes up to my mind when reading Toil and Trouble. It is not an essential reflection on this topic however. I shall come back to this later on. But because it is the weekend already and because someone is waiting for me to tell me that he missed me so much when I was working, I decide to finish my work just now. I have some right to be lazy. At least for the weekend.
