Jesus And The Cult Of Work:
That is Jesus encouraging encouraging and showing the value of work.
Any intelligent person would know the value of toil. Just look at our history.

I do not see Yin and Yang in balance nor the benefits and lose of sowing and reaping that you seem to think are balanced.
Perhaps I do not even know what you meant.

Work is good for the soul, but so is the rest and joy of free time, which is not spend in bed. It is needed to find balance, correct dividing of time between those two.
I hope it is understandable now.
Indeed.
Here is an irrefutable truth.
We are always doing the best we can with what we have.

A poor beginning does nothing to negate that we will gain what we sow.
I was born in dirt poor conditions and have worked my way to being way above my old peers.
No point in complaining about the luck of the draw involved in having rich parents.

Grats. For everyone who did work their way above their old peers, there are a dozen others who simply weren't in the right spot. There were also even more who managed to "know someone who knows someone" or didn't have to enter the work force.
You see this all the time, especially in fame. For every Tiffany Haddish who was in foster care, there're people like the Lohans or the Olsen Twins who got their jobs because they happened to be in the right place in the right time.
You gain what you sow, but some people are given rotten seeds destined to bear bitter fruit while others are given good seeds. No amount of work will get you from getting pulled over on the way to your job interview because you're black, or let your application get turned over by a rich kid who was able to pay for extracurriculars that college applications want.
No argument that we live in a chaotic system where we are affected by every one we interact with.
That luck of the draw is a part of reality for all. It is always the survival of the fittest, even in chaos.

Haha, slavery.
Ha ha.
Slaves slave. Toil is not what I would call the millstones around their necks.
To compare paid workers to slaves is you being disingenuous to slaves.

The intelligent people knew how to reap the value of OTHER people's toil. You didn't see the King out there in the fields plowing, did ya?
He was busy doing his rewarding toil.

He said, when protecting someone for working the Sabbath, that the Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath.
IOW, man and his needs and wants come before and above god's.
In this, Jesus was correct.

Goes to show how much I may haven’t read.
That is the case with many, my friend.

He thinks working should be a past time and money should be handed over to him. He thinks rich people are bad people.
