… but rather, work is supposed to help humans.
I am sure this sentence has been spoken by many people before me. At the moment, however, I do not feel like researching. After all, without feeling like it, it would actually mean work. Besides, the sentence sounds a little like Marx (juk).
But there is certainly some truth in this sentence. For me, the definition of work is if I have to or am supposed to do things I absolutely do not enjoy just for the money (among other things). If, on the other hand, I enjoy “doing things”, then this is not work. It is pleasure.
And I am probably happier if I am permitted to do things I enjoy, rather than being forced to do things I absolutely do not wish to do. And being a “white collar” or “scientist”, I actually have the chance to be in this kind of nice situation. At least that is my goal for my last years as part of the work-force.
But then, isn’t that again the arrogance of the “white collar”? And for most people it remains nothing but utopian and not possible? Because there will always be the kind of work that is so “juk“ that nobody ever will want to do it. And that means you will always need those “poor people” who have to work in order to survive. And who are consequently prepared to do things they actually do not wish to do just for getting “that funny stuff”?

Incidentally, I occasionally prefer wearing black turtlenecks. I hope this is not the uniform of the cherry-picks?
