Great read! I have been thinking about the value our society puts on hard work now for many years. My young self remembers thinking that the more strenuous a job was the less money one made. For me those were always the jobs I chose. Being in nature and sweating was my heaven. I did eventually find a job that paid more than minimum wage and helped me provide for my family. I am now 67 and planning my day working outside!

Thank you James for these letters of yours!

That is such an interesting point you make, James, about Adam and Eve neglecting work for knowledge. I need to think some more about this as I have never thought about this before.

And great analysis about the quote “if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life.”
