My Generation: Life verses Work



My Generation: Life verses Work

It’s interesting how our peers and folks say that we are lazy and don’t want to work or we don’t push ourselves. Funny thing is we have it harder. I mentioned earlier the aspect of getting work and a job. Unfortunately this generation has to work harder, longer and in most times without the hope of personal growth. People fear even going on leave or a sabbatical to study because they could easily be replaced. I am not saying that this is the norm however it is an aspect that occurs. Add on to the fact that it gets to a point and time all a person does is work and they sacrifice their own lives to do so. I don’t mean literally but their social lives deteriorate and their relationships stagnate or become non-existent. Too busy working to form any intimate relationships, no time for even ones family and they end up getting further and further. Unfortunately I have seen this happen with a few of my peers this isn’t to say that working hard or pushing yourself is a bad thing however in a situation where there is no balance between the two, a person can be stuck between working or having a life since to achieve one the other must suffer.

Jah Bless
