I don't do the work I do for amusement. I do it for the reasons stated
in my first paragraph, above.

I have a couple of hobbies, and other leisure activities, but that's
what they are...leisure time activities, not my life.

That is just sad.

Your life is work?

You don't seem to get it. I like what I do. In many cases, my work helps
people who really need help, in this country and abroad, in sustainable
development, delivering reliable potable water, worker training, worker
rights, et cetera, in underdeveloped nations.

I also get to meet and work with interesting people in a number of
fields of endeavor, including business, labor, the fine arts, music,
theater, and movies. I get to wear a suit and tie if I want. I get to
travel to interesting places on someone else's dime. I get paid nicely
for this, and get to produce interesting deliverables.

To me, that's a lot more interesting and a lot more fun than flying
model airplanes, playing golf, RV'ing, et cetera.

To each his own.

To each his own is right.

Many people who work or volunteer their time and efforts to support
humanitarian causes are respected and even admired. However when you
constantly ridicule, mock and taunt people because they have interests
that you don't share or because they desire to enjoy their hard won
retirement years pursuing endeavors that don't interest you, any respect
you may think you have earned goes out the window.

AMEN!

That's called 'tough love'. Damn true, though!
