I generally agree... however, I think the principle is that if you try hard, even a menial job can give you a sense of pride when done well. It also gives you a sense of pride to know that you have provided for yourself, your needs, and the needs of your loved ones, even if, or especially if you did it by enduring a crappy job. Think of the people who work in the fields for 12 hours a day. There's not a lot of pride that comes from giving up. Sure you can survive, but survival is different than pride. At the end of the day, whether we like it or not, people need something to be proud of and I think there's something significant about knowing that you have endured enough to provide for yourself. Just a humble thought.

It's a lot colder in that part of the country. They have to live closer together to stay warm.
