#roman classes

A Proletariat is the lowest member of the Roman classes, but a citizen none the less, and not lacking in self respect.  Of late that is how I have come to think of myself.  I have held numerous jobs ranging from food service to digging ditches.  I have to admit that I seem happier to sweat.  I heard a saying once that humans need to sweat for a living and it’s only when they forget this that they become unhappy.  Maybe that’s so, but maybe that’s what we tell ourselves.  My favorite jobs have always been working with my hands though.  There is nothing like stepping back at something that you have created and saying to yourself, “I made that and it is good.”
