This is a beautiful essay and let’s us see your heart. Such a courageous and noble heart πŸ’œ The Will to Labor shows up in so many of our expressions. A few images of Labor β€” the Labor of the Creator who made us in His Image (Their Image works too if you understand Elohim 😊) - the excitement of little children to help and to be part of family and grown ups labor β€” the neurotransmitters that are only released by successful labor β€” the pride of those who serve with skill, muscle, steadiness, invention and focus β€” the gratitude between the sexes for labors most beautifully done by the Other β€” the longing of prisoners and imprisoned youngsters for the dignity and challenge of labor β€” the earnestness of seniors to help and support β€” the responders to crisis, need, disaster that pour out …. We need as a people to try to find labor opportunities and dignity for everyone to participate as best they can. We do not need Greenspans to hold unemployment steady down or mindless robotics to take labor away from people. And, people with too much labor need to be able to call on help from volunteer services that are incentivized (eg service is a badge of social honor and entre in a broad way that does not fill the coffers of arms dealers β€” at the same time precious warriors are not wasted). And, Labor must rest on the 7th day because the Mysterious Blessings of the Sabbath must finally be received by all God’s children to further the peace.
