What are you working for?

There once was a man who traveled all over the globe, searching for wisdom and knowledge. He came upon a city, and in the midst, found a great construction site.

Approaching the nearest worker, the man asked, “Excuse me. May I ask what’s going on here?” The worker replied curtly, “Can’t you see? I’m laying bricks.”

He went to a second worker doing the same thing, and posed the same question. The second worker answered, “Can’t you see? I’m earning a living to support my family.”

He then approached a third laborer, who replied with great pride, “Can’t you see? We’re building a cathedral.”
