On Living and Working

Sir, What do you do for a Living?.....

I LIVE... 


But sir, don't you work?

But you did not ask me if I work......


Work has become our LIFE for most of us in today's times …

Work by definition involves an exertion of force, to lift an object, move a thing from one place to another and so on.


So making life a work, we have got our lives entangled with the elements in machines like force, weight or friction. And we borrow the same solutions from the world of machines , like lubricating our lives with a vacation now and then.

But really, can we banish "work" from life? By this we dont mean living off someone, not at all.

Making a living has become our essence of life, our identity.

And this is true, for a millionaire or a daily wages worker.

A millionaire works for his ego and a worker for his stomach.
