Man sounds like I would get some use out of that book because I not only have some fall gardening to do, but am puzzling the victim mentality still.
I was actually thinking that you might be someone interested in this book for that reason, as we have talked about it before. I have listened to a bit more since I wrote it and I can say there are plenty of little "lessons" in there.
Working also gives you a purpose and sense of accomplishment while avoiding work in the pursuit of peace leaves you without that accomplishment and less peace.
I have been talking about this a bit lately I reckon. I think that ideally, we should set up "work" as a society to be things that bring meaning and value to society itself. Where everyone is part of advancing humanity, something greater than themselves. Then, peace comes through the work, even when it is hard and stressful, and also through being a part of society.
