#Meaning #Work: 2020-05-30
- Meaning without work is not meaningful.
- If you are not working to progress or expand what you find most meaningful, then you are not happy or satisfied with life.
- Human meaning requires work to secure that meaning, and the work must be either progressing or expanding the meaning or its purpose.
- Unless you can do some meaningful work to help realize your chosen meaning for life, then your chosen meaning becomes less and less important.
- If your life is to have value, then your life has to have meaning; however, if your life is to have meaning, then your life has to provide work that you can perform towards a purposeful goal.
