QotD: When it's WORK

It's only work
if you'd rather be
doing something else.

--Abigail Van Buren (Dear Abby)

For me, the study of medicine could take over my whole life.... I want to do it, and the information comes to me in great floods which I try to understand and sort through so as to be able to apply it.

I agree.

Do what you love.

If everyone did what they loved, then what would mean the capital extracted from labour - but the extraction of spirit itself?

Unfortunately, most of the world is arranged so that the extraction of capital demands the resentment of personal labour. And, that is another way the rich force virtual scarcity upon the poor.

They live off of the miniscules of spirit we can give up.
