“workism.” A workist seeks meaning from their work similar to how a religious person seeks meaning from their faith.
“There's a wonderful old Italian joke about a poor man who goes to church every day and prays before the statue of a great saint, begging, "Dear saint-please, please, please...give me the grace to win the lottery." This lament goes on for months. Finally the exasperated staue comes to life, looks down at the begging man and says in weary disgust, "My son-please, please, please...buy a ticket."

Half the benefit of prayer is in the asking itself, in the offering of a clearly posed and well-considered intention. If you don't have this, all your pleas and desires are boneless, floppy, inert; they swirl at your feet in a cold fog and never lift.”

El deseo de una amistad se convierte en una exigencia de ser aceptado y el consecuente enojo si no lo soy. Lo que una vez fue un deseo saludable, toma el control; y cuando esto ocurre, el deseo que me motivaba inicialmente se transforma en algo muy diferente. En vez de ser motivado por el amor a Dios y a mi prójimo, lo que me motiva es conseguir lo que me da placer, y me enojo con todo el que me estorbe. La”
