'PUSHING BUTTONS OR PLOUGHING FIELDS?'

Man confirms yet again that he was made to labour for a reward, so deriving great satisfaction from visible, tangible results. Four parts of the brain are linked in a circuit and each is indispensable if we are to live happy, fulfilled lives. It seems there must be an effort-driven reward if we are to be resilient and survive the vicissitudes of life. It is not only having a goal, but physical effort must form part of its attainment.

Complex thinking and physical effort have given way to pushing buttons. Problem solving and planning, now done by the few, have given way to pathways and processes for the many, essential in today's complexity.

It would seem, above all, that working with our hands mulitplies joy. Our Maker knew best. He worked to a creative purpose and we are made in His image.


What are we? Pawn or ploughman?
