Work

Work should be enjoyable, productive and lead to more work.

Some people say that they have done the work, but no results are achieved, this situation irritates many. Some people seem to be very hectic and doing lots of work, but the results are not meaningful, for the efforts invested. Some people think that they deserve the honorarium for attending the job. All the species on earth work with their maximum efficiencies when needed. The majority of species do not exploit their own species as much as the humans do.

The day one has done productive work, one would be happy to share the achievements with someone they love. People with less integrity have very fewer things to share. Even if they share they want to profit from that sharing.

We have to do something in life, so just do what you love. But real love manifests in doing the work, not for oneself. If one has to live on earth, the resources and environment are helping one to live. Similarly, one has to work for all.

The social force that binds one to the courses of action, demanded by that force is the duty. The duty of a person is invaluable, it is altogether having a different value system. One’s duty is beyond monetary concerns. Duties are declared under the job, but most often they are not mandatory and only act as suggested guidelines. Sometimes duties are not restricted by time and space.

Job and rights are always together. Sometimes, the rights of a job clash with duties. Many people in Government services are doing simple jobs. The responsibility of Government employees most often ends up with the right to a job and the privileges of that job. Sometimes the costliest services delivered are the government services, because of inefficiency, lethargy, lack of willingness and lack of accountability. Many government services have become a burden for the nations. Good governance is lacking. For the failures, it is rare to find a Government employee taking responsibility on their own and resigning from a job. There is no punishment for the government for failing the systems.

The government systems globally are becoming more and more inefficient, that is one more reason for the increased expenditure budgets every year. Creating government jobs is not so important unless we reduce inefficiencies. Otherwise, one interprets that there are so many government jobs created, because of so much inefficiency existing in the government.

There was a metropolitan development authority created for the development of a city by the government. There came a time it became the white elephant so people were taxed and the government lands were sold to pay the salaries of the people. The creation of such inefficient systems is not justifiable.
