Pay Before Pleasure

Few people understand the need for pay before pleasure.

I not talking about prostitution.

I am talking about work. 

Cultural values have shifted for the worse as workers require work to be "fun" instead of hard.

Even if work is dreary, we must learn to fight through the darkness and into the light. 

It is our vested interest in each other that keeps us from merely earning a living and getting a paycheck. 

Through the events of shared struggled we learn the value of joy and play and satiety -- but without the burdens -- the lightness we seek has no bearing.
