Looking into how much is too much. Should we perform our duties below average for fear of destroying the economy, or explore how much we can do with technology?
Here’s a short story, a man was hired to pick up leaves on a rich man’s compound, he was hard-working and visionary, he picked up the leaves every morning and evening, this pleased his boss, so he paid him handsomely. This went on for a while and the duo’s relationship grew stronger because the boss cherished the clean environment, and, the cleaner had bread to put on the table at the end of the day.
One day, his boss went on a recursion, and the cleaner thought to himself, “I need to deal with these leaves once and for all.” so he did something he was certain was going to impress his boss, he was proud of himself afterward and could not wait for his boss to come home so that he could see his fine work. upon the boss’s arrival, he showed off his work; he had cut down the tree that was littering the compound. Little did he know the tree was planted by the boss’s late father, and he, for it’s sentimental value, loved sitting in its shed. He loved it even though it shed a lot of leaves all year round. The boss was infuriated by this action and laid the cleaner off.
