Occupation is a concrete term for continuity.
An occupation is the only thing which balances the distinctive capacity of an individual with his social service. To find out what one is fitted to do and to secure an opportunity to do it is the key to happiness. Nothing is more tragic than failure to discover one's true business in life, or to find that one has drifted or been forced by circumstances into an uncongenial calling. A right occupation means simply that the aptitudes of the person are in adequate play, working with the minimum friction and the maximum freedom. With reference to other members of the community, this adequacy of action signifies, of course, that they are getting the best service that a person can render.
