The Conclusions of a Working Class "Taker"

[davidthegnome]

10. You already do the most valuable job on earth.

You raise children. Children who will one day grow up to become adults, who will one day take over where we left off. I definitely understand about the reluctance to work a more traditional job, because, as I get older, I long desperately for a career that I could love and take pride in. But, you know, it's beginning to occur to me that you can take pride in any job - it's not so much what we do, it's how we do it.

You can absolutely copy my post and send it to people you think might need a lift - please do so. My rant was for them as much as for us, heck, it's for everyone who's still out there giving a damn.

I'd give anything for my parents. Anything at all -and it is truly wonderful, to know, without doubt or question, that they would do the same for me. There are times when I dream of a world in which we could all feel that way about each other - not just our own, biological families, but about the human family... okay, maybe I'm getting too preachy.

I might have been a great preacher, if I wasn't an agnostic. My faith is in humanity - and especially in the heroes of humanity, people like my parents and people like you.
