In a world threatening to be pulled into the black hole of laziness and leisure, the way forward will be to renew our strong commitment to industriousness as a critical virtue – aka, hard work.

The biblical/old testament model (Exodus 20:9) leads us to work six days per week and rest one day per week. Traditionally as Americans, we enjoy a rigorous five-day work week with one day designated for rest and recreation and then an additional day dedicated to corporate worship.

Let’s beware of and outright reject the growing push for fewer hours/days of work and more days of idleness. Wealth is almost always squandered three generations after it was earned, largely because the work ethic which earned it was jettisoned for the love of leisure. As Americans, let’s re-commit ourselves afresh to the glorious joy of the American work ethic.
