So today I read a post on social media nothing surprising there but this was from someone
who I no and care for very much and as part of there quote they said if you don’t want to work then don’t work.
Now this was said in the context of helping people and I have pondered on a response firstly do we have an obligation to give back to a society that has helped to raise us educated and provided us with health care you may say yes and I would agree.
Do we have an obligation to our family that have worked to give us the things we need and the things we craved to be able to give a little back to remove ourselves from there burden so that they may start to focus on there future and there health and maybe even giving them a chance to save for there retirement. Again you may say yes and I would agree.
But fundamentally we have an obligation to ourselves to work to have some self worth a reason to rise every morning and rest every night to have purpose in life is to feel a purpose to your life because with out the basic feeling of self worth what do we have. Now the original question was should we do it because we feel obligated to then the answer is no we should do it because that’s what makes a society it is what has made the human race work the ability for everyone to pull together for the same fundamental reason.
The work you undertake however is for you to decide work is just a word that covers many areas if you are unable to go out and earn an income from some form of employment that’s fine but we are all able to give back in some way from helping out in a school or the local charity shop/ calling in on elderly neighbours / litter picking in the park / walking someones dog while they recover from and illness you get the point but the list is endless.
we all have an obligation to contribute to our society but not because we are made to but for our own self worth and mental stability if we all put in there will always be something to take out so that future generations can survive and thrive as we have done.
Give yourself a reason to be proud to stand up and make your mark no matter how small.
A field of grass is made up of millions of blades all as important as each other and all as reliant on the next to keep the lands before us green and beautiful.
