There's a huge amount of superfluous,
harmful and unnecessary work going on in today's society that nobody really wants
to do and that nobody should do. Imagine a world where economic desperation does
not determine the work we must do. Most
of us would then be free, much more of the time, to do what we want to do, and
most of us would then do useful things with that free time.
But what about those who would
choose idleness and sloth?
So what? At this
point, Mother Earth would happily trade her legions of crazed workaholics for a
healthy population of "slackers," i.e. those content to work and consume less.
Maybe someday we'll even look
back and wonder why we ever considered greed and overwork to be virtues, rather
than valuing a more healthy balance between our jobs vs. our personal lives; our bosses vs.
our families, ourselves and the natural world that sustains us.
