Henry David Thoreau
Walden
Where is the division of Labor to end?
and what object does it
finally serve?
there is some of the same fitness in a man
building his own house
that there is in a bird building its own nest -
Who knows - but if man constructed their dwellings-
with their own hands
and provided food for themselves and families
simply and honestly enough
the poetic faculty would be fully developed
as birds universally sing
when they are so engaged!
My note:
Most Humans in their quest for mere quantity, merely became a bean-counter!
Division of labor works for the most to make it faster and higher !
but in the process, the artful zest is lost!
and as a result , Human lost his zest for quality - beauty inherent to their craft and art!
A few who managed to retain beauty in their work , rise up !
