The blessings of workoholism


You are never bored
and never out of work,
you never lack good entertainment
and you always are kept busy.
In brief, it only imports blessings
never to be able or to have to stop
and never needing any rest,
to always have something ahead
both to look forward to
and being able to postpone,
as it is said:
He has something to look forward to
who has some business to postpone.
It can be also used as some way of escape
for the evasion of fatiguing travel
and dull social duties,
like exhausting tiresome and noisy parties
to instead be kept alone in peace.
These blessings make your wages less important
since no salary or gain is higher
than the satisfaction
of a finished and accomplished work.

There was a time in my life when I lived my work. I love what I do and I can see how easily it can become my life, but it isn't any more. There are too many other things I enjoy, but this poem is excellent and it shows just how work can become one's life. Of course, it would have to be a job where one can't wait to get to everyday. I enjoyed the poem.

Good point, though I think some people's work itself is boring and dreary. I couldn't wait to stop working. I suppose it's all in how one defines 'work.'
