It will be important to make the distinction if I find myself out of a job.terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12510457113017189354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28837228.post-44451589721222893842011-10-19T20:34:58.772-04:002011-10-19T20:34:58.772-04:00The whole concept of having a "job" didn...The whole concept of having a "job" didn't come around until the Industrial Revolution.<br /><br />Before that, everyone's "job" was surviving; doing whatever it took to get food on the table and simply stay alive.<br /><br />Those were the days when everyone was good at something that contributed to the overall wellfare of everyone else: the blacksmith, the carpenter, the dressmaker, the shepherd.<br /><br />My point is that we as a people have gotten away from the concept of self-sufficient surviving, and instead we need a "job".<br /><br />I am not casting stones. All of my life I have worked at "jobs".<br /><br />But I would like to think that if the whole shebang goes down the tubes I could trade my carpentry services somehow for something else, then trade that for food, or something else, and somehow survive.<br /><br />Self-suffiency is the key...not a "job".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08106838545792022551noreply@blogger.com
