Well said. I’m a software engineer, and I get frustrated with my job, and my butt gets sore after sitting for 10 hours straight most days, but not a single day goes by that I’m not immensely grateful I get to live in a time when I don’t need to work in the sun doing back breaking work on a farm like my parents did and their parents did. Both my parents and all 4 of my grandparents spent their whole lives toiling as general labourers picking crops, planting cane, repairing equipment.
I’ve been desk jobbing for the past 16 years and while I do enjoy it it would be nice to have a job where I can be at a desk or up and about moving my body and being outside the house more.
