A co-employee whom I rarely speak with, told me something very intelligent, so intelligent that it got me irritated.
I asked him, "do you love your job?" As if I said something out of context. As if I did something wild. And indeed I did. "Yeah"... with a sigh of disbelief... "Why did you ask?"
I don't know. "Buti ka pa."
"Why, you?"
"Honestly?... Honestly... No."
"Then why are you still here?"
(*Ralph Waldo Emerson)
