Don't take life to serious. Serious health scare and reality check

if we don't have out health we have NOTHING! so yes we have to take care of ourselves, seldom will the company do it. if one does, that's great!!

whats interesting to me is a statement a co worker made. he said we are slaves! now think about it. think about the slave days, then if you are from the rural South, think about after the civil war, the freeing of the "slaves". they remained on the same farm, plantation, still a slave to the man but free. are we, the lower class worker, a slave to the man, the system. most times we are so busy working we have no time or energy to figure a way out of the economic hole they keep us in????????
