Share ko lang ito, okay? (ito naman for the parents),- which reminds me,- birthday ng isa naming anak today and so, we need to go home right after the dingdong....
For many people , work now is the emotional and spiritual
center of life. Writer John Updike was right when he said , "We may
live well, but that cannot ease the suspicion that we no longer live
nobly." I hear this from other people . I meet many who are burned
out from work , who are disillusioned with their professions. We seem
spiritually damaged by the pernicious cycle of working, wanting and
having as ends in themselves.
Workaholism and its handmaidens, careerism and materialism,
aren't only social issues - they are religious issues. As Dianne Fassel
wrote in Working Ourselves to Death, "Work is a god for the compulsive
worker, and nothing gets in the way of this god." Work becomes an end in
itself, a way to escape from family, the inner life, the world.
All genuine religions are concerned with the shattering of false
gods. How can we break the false gods of career?
** First, remember the most profound revolution in religious
thinking: the Sabbath. Whether one celebrates it on Friday, Saturday or
Sunday, its spiritual reality goes beyond ritual. It is the ultimate
statement that the world does not own us, that we are made for rest and
holiness as surely as we are made for ambition.
** Second, don't sacrifice your family on the altar of career.
The journey up the ladder to success has brought us much wealth. But it
has also devalued the traditional role of the parent as nurturer and
teacher.
In the Yiddish song " Mayn Yingele" ("My Little One"), a father
sings to his sleeping child:
I have a son, a little son
A boy completely fine.
Whenever I see him, it seems to me
That all the world is mine .
But seldom, seldom do I see
My child awake and bright.
I only see him when he sleeps;
I'm only home at night.
It's early when I leave for work;
When I return, it's late.
Unknown to me is my own flesh,
Unknown is my child's face.
When I come home so wearily
In the darkness after day
My pale wife exclaims to me;
"You should have seen our child play."
I stand beside his little bed;
I look and try to hear.
In his dream he moves his lips:
"Why isn't papa here?"
That song was written in 1887 , but the anguish of the parent
who has impalled himself on the sword of ambition has not changed.
** Third, don't judge yourself by what you do, but by the
meaning you bring to it. Many people have transformed dull work into a
true vocation- into a place where they hear the voice of something
deeper and higher.
We never know what we do in our work that will be remembered ,
that will be holy. It has nothing to do with our job titles. It has
everything to do with the faith , vision and love that we bring to it.
