Actually work isn’t really hard, it is just long (no sexual reference intended). As explained more scientifically here, it is difficult to write nice long, well thought-out posts when I don’t have time to think anymore.
All my useless opinons, which are very important to me, are harder to formulate when I don’t have the time to dwell on them. On the other hand, time to think isn’t always a good thing.
What all this has to do with my website is that I have noticed the frequency of my posts have increased, while the quality of writing has deteriorated. The entries have gotten shorter too.
And I always thought I was such a good writer?? Maybe its just that I had more time to put into it.
Additionally, as outlined here, thinking is something done by the idle. Labor is concerned with bread and water, not its cosmic significance. I have yet to decide whether or not a J-O-B is a good thing or not in the philosophical sense, but I am sure of one thing:
It makes you a hell of a lot more boring.
Perhaps that is because you must be interesting to be useful if you are not working. If you are jobless and interesting, you’re an idealistic dreamer trying to beat the system. If you are jobless and boring you’re just a loser.
If you are working you don’t have to care whether or not you are boring…you’re still getting your shit done.
Still, I hope to have the leisure to consider a few twisted, useless and unrealistic thoughts every once in a while. Otherwise I may just have to go rob a bank or something….
