The work of the world is common as mud.
\nBotched, it smears the hands, crumbles to dust.
\nBut the thing worth doing well done
\nhas a shape that satisfies, clean and evident.
\nGreek amphoras for wine or oil,
\nHopi vases that held corn, are put in museums
\nbut you know they were made to be used.
\nThe pitcher cries for water to carry
\nand a person for work that is real.

“I think one of the big wishes of the human kind is to transform things, to work on things to construct, to destroy, to sometimes construct again. And not only to look at the world, let’s say, passively. I think that’s the aim of humankind, being a man, a woman, is to change things.” Luc Dardenne, filmmaker<\/a><\/p>\n

“There is no worse material poverty than that of not being able to earn one’s daily bread.\u009d Unemployment is not inevitable; it is, rather, the result of a prior social option and an economic system that values profits more than people…..Ours is a culture of waste. This happens when the god of money is at the center of an economic system, and not the human person…..There are economic systems that have to make war to survive. ….We have to [change the world] with courage, but also with intelligence; with tenacity, but without fanaticism; with passion, but without violence; and all together, confronting conflicts, without being ensnared in them–striving to resolve tensions to reach a higher level of unity, peace, and justice.\u009d Pope Francis<\/a><\/p>\n

“While unemployment is an ordeal for anyone, it still appears to be more traumatic for men. Men without jobs are more likely to commit crimes and go to prison. They are less likely to wed, more likely to divorce, and more likely to father a child out of wedlock. Ironically, unemployed men tend to do even less housework than men with jobs and often retreat from family life….” “The Slow Disappearance of the American Working Man,” Mike Dorning<\/a>, Bloomberg Business<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
