| Nothing will work unless we do |
Jan 3: In the midst of wanting some time off, longing to clear out my mind and run a little slow, I've sometimes forgotten how fortunate I am to have enough work to want a break from. Being busy is good, I've no doubt about that. Had a break up? Seep yourself in work. Feeling useless? Get busy. Want to introspect? Recoil, let your work build a wall around you. Time and again we've all turned to work to make up for a loss, give form to pieces of our lives, and construct meaning out of a life falling apart. (Not to mention the way we use it as an excuse to skip meeting annoying acquaintances and relatives, attend uninteresting gatherings et al!)
So today I want to crib a little less about being busy and packed with work. It's a luxury not everybody gets to afford.
