Yesterday I was installing electrical conduit and wire. I would call it “hard work” because I am not familiar with all the methods of bending pipe and configuring circuits. Later yesterday I was mowing yards, this is “working hard” but not hard work.
What I was thinking about was those times when we are “working hard” at “hard work”. I know some people who just seem to shut down when one of the “work” and “hard” words come together. Some people just don’t like one of them (like “hard work” or “working hard”). Other people don’t like either of them and start to implode.
Those who work hard at not “working hard” or “hard work”, seem to activate an aggression switch in me. It is like seeing a clay pigeon target fluttering across the sky at a gun range. It seems only natural to shoot at it/them. I seem to quickly judge how hard they are working at figuring out how it cannot be done or how hard it is to do it and if we should not stop doing it until someone finds a better way. Or wait until someone else does it! Like the guy watching me.
So in the desire to deepen my life, I am going to try and understand and appreciate those who are “hard work” and “work hard” allergic. I am going to use my abilities and see if I can learn to ……not I’m not!
Dear God
