a job can be health-destroying and soul-destroying. a job can cause you to forget about your family and friends, things they’ve said, things they told you over and over again not to do or what to do – and your excuse to them is always – “i was so busy at work i forgot” or “i’m too busy at work and i neglected you but please understand” and it’s always always that the other person has to understand. as if the other person doesn’t have a life, as if the other person should be like you – neglect you because of their job, hurt you because they prioritise other people, other things. a job can be detrimental other than pay the bills, but don’t use it to hurt other people and yourself.
