Work Fairly

Work remains a good thing, not only because it is useful and enjoyable, but also because it expresses and increases the worker's dignity. Through work we not only transform the world, we are transformed ourselves, becoming "more a human being."Work remains a good thing, not only because it is useful and enjoyable, but also because it expresses and increases the worker's dignity. Through work we not only transform the world, we are transformed ourselves, becoming "more a human being. What this is trying to say is that if we work then we are becoming more responsible in our own life. We will know how to become a much fuller adult. It also means that we need to enjoy work and that it is fun. We get more human dignity by working. I have to say I like work if I get paid because I am lazy but if I get paid then I will become really responsible. I think that the economy exists for the person and not for the economy. A fundamental moral measure of the economy is how the poor and vulnerable are faring. i think that work is participating in Gods work. You want to work for God by working

  2. I agree that work is a great thing and everybody needs it. It is also a thing that everyone strives for in school and at home. I think that we are all lucky to be able to work and earn a living as an adult.
