I’m thankful for the concept of work and for the ability to do work. I also realize that without working, we would not have food, water, shelter, entertainment, computers, telephones, etc.
I do, however, find it both amazing and quite depressing that most of our lives are given up to the workplace mainly because this fact is often overlooked and under appreciated. Spending most of your life at work may not be so bad if you are a Hollywood star, but the average human being spends more time with co-workers and supervisors than they do with their own families or friends.
This is something we should always remember so that we respect not only the workplace, but more importantly we respect others around us, whether they be co-workers, subordinates, or even our bosses (as they are known to be difficult). But we spend so much of our lives in this rat race and most of the stress we make is simply made up by bad attitudes and lack of respect. It is sad to see people knickle and dime each other over petty things and add to each others stress each day. I suggest that you think about this the next time you step into your workplace, because it is honestly a home more than a job.
