and there's more. God agrees with you, He says >

17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;

19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

Personally, work may be hard, but work gives me a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.

There have been times when due to illness or 'between jobs' that I have been out of work - it pulled my sense of self-worth down, it was discouraging.

I'm not sure but I think Eve may have been onto something.

I'm looking forward to a time when we can return to live in a world like the Garden of Eden.

Thanks for another good post and more food for thought @rudel
