Work

While it is natural for man
to follow the easiest way, his
progress comes by taking the
most difficult roads or paths.
Progress is not unnatural. But
nature makes us pay the price.
We never get anywhere by
following the easiest way.
1t is easier to sleep on the
ground, exposed to the weather.
But man, beginning with his
first crude huts, on to the luxu-
rious skyscraper apartment
house of the modern city, has
taken the more difficult way
knowing that efforts reward is
worth its price. The comforta-
BILE home is we'll worth the ener-
gy expended, in getting it and in
maintaining it.
Electricity follows the path of
least resistance. So does falling
water, rushing back to its source,
the sea. So does the agile mer-
curry from broken thermomc-
ter, obeying gravity by darling
down to the lowest level it can
reach.
Man, too, obeys this natural
law-follows the path of least
resistance.
In other words, man inclines
to the easiest way.
Work is not the pleasantest
thing in the world, despite the
Big Talk of the platitudes-
most of which are written by
lazy dawdlers. The philoso-
pher who urges mankind to toll
is rarely energetic himself. But
that does not lessen the truth
and wisdom of his teachings,
Work is not the most enjoya-
bic way of putting in our time.
1t certainly is not the easiest
way-the path of least resist
ance. Yet we all know that
work is what moves us ahead
brings US our necessities and
comforts.
Men are resigned to their lot
and are not following the line
of least resistance-when they
work at their daily tasks.
But when work is over and
man relaxes, he slips into the
easiest way.
Particularly in his reading
matter. He drifts through the
entertaining, recreational news
scandal, crime. the unusual.
These are the easiest way-re-
curing no brain effort. Too
bad, that political news and
speeches require thought and
accordingly, get little of the at
tention they deserve.
