<< All of us want to do our preferable things and tend to
avoid troublesome or difficult task as much as possible. However, I think
that we sometimes have to do what we do not enjoy. There are two reasons
we have to do the job against our will.
First reason is because our doing the troublesome job
is necessary for others. For instance, we sometimes hear the news that
criminals go to police for themselves thanks to the persuasion of their intimate
people such as their friends or parents. In these cases, for the
criminals' parents and friends, persuading the criminal is reluctant job since
they do not want to relate these things and might even want to deny the
astonishing fact that their loved person committed a crime. However, they
dare to do the important job. It is because, I guess, they realize that
they are the only people who can persuade the criminal and prevent him/her from
committing crime again. In short, they do the touchy task not for their
own benefit but for their loved person and common good. As this
example shows, if possible, we sometimes have to do troublesome things for
others.
Second reason is that doing the task is necessary for
us. If we have diabetes, we have to limit calories of meals and cannot enjoy
dining so much. However, if the patients stop diet, diabetes will
develop. Therefore, such people reluctantly cut down the amount of sugar,
fat, and grain for their own health. We also study hard before
taking examination, even of we do not like studying very much. But taking
bad score or escaping from the hateful exam itself must lead much more
disadvantageous situation in our career and future. Without graduation
from certain school, in my country, Japan, we hardly get our favorite or ideal
job. Therefore we reluctantly study hard to take satisfactory grade at
school, even if we dislike the subject.
In this way, some jobs that we have to do by force are necessary either for others or for us. Therefore, we sometimes should do what we do not enjoy doing. |
