These outcomes occur for other reasons as well, but they certainly do follow from doing meaningless work. Many other cultures do not make these distinctions, especially between the sacred and the secular. These other cultures do not divide life into two separate spheres. Life is whole, of one piece. Life is both - and.
Life includes the opposites in a creative, vital and life-giving tension.
From this perspective then there is not one set of rules and values brought to work and another set operational in the other parts of life. If the connection or bridge can be made, this life would be of one piece. Our work and the way we work could truly be said at best to be spiritual, and at minimum to contain a spiritual dimension. Spirituality would permeate every aspect of this integrated life. A hard to define word.
