Some More Food for Thought
Some of us are told that life is a joyous process, the world is a wondrous and beautiful place to be, and they have unlimited opportunities to be a success/somebody, and have the potential to be whom and what we want to be. Some of us are told that work should be a joyous and fulfilling vocation.
Then there are those of us who were strongly inculcated that life is a constant inferno and neverending struggle, the world is a jungle and a horrid/foreboding place, they have only one opportunity to be a success/somebody, and to just settle for what they can get. They are also taught that work is a chore and something to be endured and/or at best tolerated until retirement.
Any thoughts on this?
