To all you cry babies that sit on your ass and complain about having to work for a living and have the attitude that the world owes you a living, I say join the military and see how long it takes them to show you that nobody owes you shit. I can't count the number of times that I've been watching the evening news and seen a story about how some corporate theif obscounded with the worker's pension funds (Ken Lay for example) and left hard working and honest people with nothing. That's when I give thanks that I made it to 30 years with ABT and have a confortable retirement until the day I die. That by the way will be when I'm 140 years old. I told them (ABT) that unpon retirement as my way of getting even with them. In truth, I'm happy that I had that job and hope that I left with having made a contribution. Here's paralel thought on the subject from an ancient much smarter than me:
“And if you cannot work with love
but only with distaste, it is better that
you should leave your work and sit
at the gate of the temple and take alms
from those who work with joy.”
~Kahlil Gibran
