“The return from your work must be the satisfaction which that work brings you and the world's need of that work. With this, life is heaven, or as near heaven as you can get. Without this — with work which you despise, which bores you, and which the world does not need — this life is hell.”
― W.E.B. Du Bois
My "retirement" jobs were preaching for pastors who were out of town and officiating weddings for the God Squad. Both brought me a lot of satisfaction, even joy. Now that I'm no longer able to do either, I feel "jobless." And that too is a kind of hell. Who am I now? What am I?
