Working
Good Sunday morning,
" Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it ",
so said Confucius.
Man at Work
Working is the most magnificent and wondrous of human activities.
It distinguishes humans from animals, and elevates mankind to the
highest level of creation on earth. Without working there is no earth!
A man working is a symbol of mankind at its best. It is a monument
of concentration, of pooling knowledge and experience, and of fitting
facts and figures, towards the creation of usefulness.
Without man working, we are but beastly people, naked people,
crude people, people living like animals. It is through man working
that we are the world, a world of learning, of communicating, of
exploring, of attaining; a world of feeding, of clothing, of comfort,
of being humans; a world of music, of entertainment, of enjoyment.
Without man at work, we are but garbage dumps and cesspools,
no better than pigsties; we would be a laissezfaire, a mindless lot!
A man at work is a beauty to behold, be he able bodied, crippled or
lame, or otherwise disadvantaged; be he blind, deaf or dumb; be he
disfigured or lacking prettiness, be he young or old. A man at work
is a picture of peace, he is too busy to sneer or to hate; he is not in
a state to malign or to do harm; he has no time to fear, to cause
mischief or other evil. A man at work is immersed in concentration
in his efforts on what is at hand. It is an illustration of doing, of
determination and of perseverance. A man at work will produce a
usefulness for himself, or for others and for the world.
A man working is creation manifesting its usefulness .
It is rewarding to take time off to smell roses. It is also rewarding to
take time off to look at a man at work; a basket weaver, a carpenter,
a foot and mouth painter, a potter, a dress designer, an electrician,
a fish ball maker, a bicycle assembler, a barber, a gardener ridding
weeds or anybody working.
Whatever his creation may turn out, it would be a beauty, the best
by his efforts! Only a fool works contrarily.
Have a nice day.
