Obviamente que el no trabaja 4 horas por semana, pero con su libro esta abriendo o dandole forma a un debate interesante.
Como los mails , mensajeros instantaneos,etc. nos distraen, interrumpen, y llenan nuestro tiempo haciendonos esclavos On Line.
No habla , aparentemente, del tiempo que pasamos navegando y descubiendo cosas On line, sino, la maraña de informacion que cada dia nos atrapa alejandonos de las cosas basicas en las que debemos poner foco.
En Hiljot Talmud Tora Rambam ya dividia el dia entre el trabajo y el estudio.
Sera esta la formula para ser productivos de verdad y poder dedicar nuestro tiempo a estudiar?
Una de las cosas interesantes que dicen los comentarios, es que en vez de visualizar la jubilacion como el tiempo donde haremos lo que deseamos, debemos tratar de hacerlo ahora, encontrando un balance entre nuestra respolsabilidad laboral y la espiritual.
No es poca cosa no?
Estoy avanzando en la lectura de un libro de Rabi Najman que habla de visualizar el trabajo no como contradiciendo nuestra vida espiritual sino completandola.
Ojala que estas ideas nos ayuden a pensar en la necesidad de repensar nuestra relacion trabajo-espiritualidad.
