Work generally takes up a third of the time available for living. Therefore, make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody. Work is an honorable experience, no matter what you do for a living. Work provides some of the most intense and satisfying moments, it gives a sense pride and identity, and it is something many people love to do because of the skills, benefits, and social-capital that comes from working. #RyanPhillippe 1 of 8

In a recent study, it was reported that 84 percent of men, and 77 percent of women confirmed that they would continue to work even if they inherited enough money so they no longer required a job for monetary compensation. However, deep down inside, when many people are working, according to several ESM studies, when people are signaled at work, they endorse the item: “I wish I was doing something else” more than at any other time of the day. However, we ought always to thank God, because from the beginning God chose you to be saves through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through the belied in truth. #RyanPhillippe 2 of 8

Another example of the controversial attitude about work, Dr. Phillippe claimed that German workers disliked work, and those who disliked it more were happier overall. The second discovery was the works only dislike work because they are brainwashed by the media on ideological grounds, and those who like their work lead richer lives. The point is that there was reasonable evidence for both conclusions. You may not teach individuals to promote myths nor endless genealogies. These promote controversies rather than God’s work—which is by faith. #RyanPhillippe 3 of 8

Love comes from a pure hearts and good conscience and sincere faith. Because work is so important in terms of the amount of time it takes and the intensity of effects it produces in conscience, it is essential to face up to its ambiguities if one wishes to improve the quality of life. A first step in that direction is to briefly review how work activities evolved in history, and the contradictory values that were attributed to it which still now affect our attitudes and experiences. #RyanPhillippe 4 of 8

Work as we know it is a very recent historical development. It did not exist before the great agricultural revolutions that made intensive farming possible about twelve thousand years ago. During the previous millions of years of human evolution, each man and woman provided for self and kin. However, there was no such thing as working for someone else; for hunter-gatherer’s work was seamlessly integrated with the rest of life. #RyanPhillippe 5 of 8

In the classical Western civilization of Greece and Rome, philosophers reflected the public opinion about work, which was that it should be avoided at all costs. Idleness was considered a virtue. According to Aristotle, only a man who did not have to work could be happy. Roman philosophers agreed that wage labor was sordid and unworthy of a free man…craft labor was considered sordid, and so was the business of retailing. The ideal was to conquer or buy productive and, and then hire a staff of stewards to supervise its cultivation by slaves or indentured serfs. #RyanPhillippe 6 of 8

In Imperial Rome, about 20 percent of the male adult population did not have to work. By having attained a life of idleness, they believed that they had reached excellence in their lives. In Republican times, there was some substance to this belief: members of the ruling class volunteered their time to fill military and administrative duties that helped the community and gave room for personal potential to expand. However, after centuries of ease, the idle classes withdrew from public life and used their free time to consume luxury and entertainment instead. #RyanPhillippe 7 of 8

Work, for the majority of people, started to change radically in Europe about five hundred years ago, and still continues to change at a rapid rate right now. Until the thirteenth century, almost all energy for work depended on human or animal muscle. Only a few primitive engines, such as water-mills, helped to alleviate the burden. Then slowly windmills with a variety of gears began to take over the chore of grinding grains, hauling water, blasting furnaces where metals were forged. The development of steam engines, and later electricity, further revolutionized the way we transform energy. #RyanPhillippe 8 of 8
