All I long for, all I have longed for for years is to retire (prior to wanting to retire, my ambition was to play). Given a chance not to work, I would take it. However, this is not because of laziness or some inherent trait of sloth. Rather it is because I want to pursue my own interests and ideas; I want to do my own thing. One of the saddest things I find in talking with people about not working (aside from obvious disapproval) is that they like working, they would get bored not working, after all, there is only so much TV one can watch. Hmmm ... a pretty sad comment I think. I have a mind full of ideas. There are lots of things which grab my interest, which distract me as I journey through life. Finding what I want to do is hard., because every week I can have a new thing I want to pursue. Some might argue that I am not disciplined. Definitely, I am a poor finisher - great starter, but lousy finisher. I believe I have found what my ideal job would be: owning and running an incubato

Is it bcos he spent alot of his time to sharpen it...Sharper knife gives less misery for the animal.?
But my neighbouring butcher had lousy knives.
They always 'slaughter' us instead.

"Questions are a burden to others, answers a prison for oneself."
It is also how the line is delivered: the first part hard, the secodn part warm and soft.
Personally, I think it sounds better the other way around:
"The butcher with the warmest heart ... has the sharpest knife."
