Re: Hard workers over worked?
I too come a family where my dad worked, and my mom stayed home and raised four kids. I've been busting my butt since I was 14 working jobs to help where I could, and I'm proud to say that it continued into my adult life. My wife doesn't work and she gets to stay home with our two girls. It's not easy to make ends meet, but I'll continue to break my back if I have too as long as my kids do not go without. I will probably be one of those guys that never stops working. My dad retired at age 60. He enjoyed three months of retirement before he passed. I've sometimes wondered if he had kept doing the job he loved (he was forced to retire at 60) would he still be around? Surprisingly I think so. My grandpa was always on the go, he told me once that if he ever stopped working and being active, that he might as well just throw in the towel. Just my two cents for what it is worth.
There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter.
