A brainstorm that i'll formulate coherently tomorrow:
before i get side tracked, there are some things that I was thinking about in the car ride over here that I need to get out in print.
Starting with a couple concepts:
anything is possible
even people who enjoy their work don't want to do it everyday
why work full time
living in community, co-op situations
It's interesting, why do we work? what prompts to thing about working,
The cultural norm is to work a full-time job say about 40-50 hours a week, but why is this the norm, and should it be. Given the option I think most people would opt of it if they could,
Truism - inherently we occupy our time with something
do we work simply to pass time, because we have nothing else to do and would get bored otherwise?
Does it provide some sort of meaning or purpose to our lives?
I'm strugggling with the notion of working full time, I talk with Chad and while he may like his job he certainly does not want to do it 5 days a week for 8 hours a day. Scott is leaving liquid force because he is burnt out on working and wants to move onto something else. I don't know what to make of this whole ordeal.....I ask myself what do i want what am i passionate enough about that I could it for a living, but i don't these are the right questions to ask,
shouldn't I be asking what does God want we to do with gifts, but I have a feeling he leaves much of that up to us, then perhaps in whatever we choose we will be left somewhat wanting, there is no perfect job, must we find peace and tranquility in whatever we do, i think maybe its something more along these lines,
the thing that i struggle with most, is that i view a job as restricting, my own mental block most likely, it just takes so much of time our earthly time, and in Paul tells the ephesians that the days are evil and to use them wisely. it's kinda makes my head spin, are these things that we even supposed to figure out..........
