"The experience of no need to find the necessary emolument."

[Plenum]

there's nothing wrong with work; it can teach you a lot of discipline.

I am sure both Ankh and Jeremy can testify to the willpower required to work long, arduous hours in service to-others (healthcare profession), and to keep on serving despite being physically and mentally (and possibly spiritually) drained as well. It is easy to serve when conditions are 'right' and 'supportive'; but can one keep serving in the face of adversity and difficulty? That is the true test of the 'Choice' and the commitment to one's path.

ps, having worked night shift myself for many years, full time at first, I can tell you it develops many inner qualities to be continually challenged.

One of those qualities, a beautiful one indeed, is gratitude for when times are easier and more tranquil. It is a deep appreciation of just being able to be still and quiet.
