A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I see it the exact same way. i take very much pride in my simple, yet important work and see it as my contribution to society. that's what i want to do and that's what i would still do even if i didn't have to. that's exactly what i meant by 'following your dreams' because i believe people want to 'work', to strive for something and work towards it. i thouht labor would be the definition of a job that you do to get by. most people would prefer to do a more useful job than they do now.
