It's impressive that we are not more impressed. Work is a social construct, formally invented around 200 years ago, with schedules, labor-divisions, laws and a super sophisticated structure. <br>When asked, "Who are you or what do you do?" many will respond with their career or job. One wonders what the childhood versions of ourselves would say about our lives now… <br>Without realizing it, and in a society more technological than ever, people find themselves working increasingly more, beyond basic needs - for ego, fear, inertia, or simply avoiding the most crucial questions.
