Tom said to himse...Revisit "Tom Sawyer". <br />Tom said to himself that it was not such a hollow world, after all. He had discovered a great law of human action, without knowing it – namely, that in order to make a man or a boy covet a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to attain. If he had been a great and wise philosopher, like the writer of this book, he would now have comprehended that Work consists of whatever a body is obliged to do, and that Play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do. And this would help him to understand why constructing artificial flowers or performing on a tread-mill is work, while rolling ten-pins or climbing Mont Blanc is only amusement. There are wealthy gentlemen in England who drive four-horse passenger-coaches twenty or thirty miles on a daily line, in the summer, because the privilege costs them considerable money; but if they were offered wages for the service, that would turn it into work and then they would resign.<br /><br />That sir, is your issue in a nutshell. For everyone else, as well. Good luck and I hope you find your spark again soon. Perhaps a trip to an apple orchard is what you need this week. Pick a bag, buy some fresh pressed cider, simmer on the stove (and in the mind) and see if you can pick up the thread in the changing leaves. Fresh air might do you good.Besides, the dogs will love it.<br />Jamie SmithAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5392423252885054374.post-32184403994349647092013-10-02T08:01:07.285-07:002013-10-02T08:01:07.285-07:00Ahhh, I remember the good ol days when I could wor...Ahhh, I remember the good ol days when I could work my 50-60 hours and call it quits.
