<\/a>Our friends over at \u201cThink Christian<\/a>\u201d have a fascinating post<\/a> on work and how it molds the way we view humanity at large. Nathan, the author, suggests that \u201cthat our line of work\u2026shapes our view of human nature.\u201d <\/p>\nFor example: <\/p>\n
- \n
- A judge might see all humans as prone to wrong-doing. <\/li>\n
- Someone working in a nursery section of a hardware store might see humans as loving and caring <\/li>\n
- A counselor might see humans as needy <\/li>\n
- A social worker might see people as manipulative.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
This really got us thinking here. Does our job change our outlook? Are we more cynical towards God\u2019s creation because of the influence of our work? Are we more compassionate? More judgemental?<\/p>\n
How about your job? Does it allow you to see men and women as God sees them?<\/p>\n
Go to Think Christian and comment there,<\/a> and then feel free to comment here.<\/a><\/p>\n
Please, share with a friend if you feel moved.
