The Artdog Quote of the Week
As the Geoffrey Owens case has recently dramatized, we are far from perfectly recognizing this profound reality.
But think about it: many of the most supposedly "menial" jobs are among the most important for maintaining public health and safety. Working hard for the good of one's self, family, and community also has been found likely to be essential to a feeling that one's life has meaning.
Ask not: "Are you happy?" Ask: "Does your life and work have meaning?" And let no one around you ever be ashamed of working hard.
