Dignity of labor

Well no work is bad, the fact that you are doing a work that enables you to live with self respect is sufficient to make it dignified. Well how did this idea come to slip in through the crack while the rest of the world is based on nothing but egoist principles. The reason I believe is the white collar people who need the workers to do work that they consider below their dignity. They know that the common man has to do whatever work he gets - its not an option for most. But the thing is that the need is dual and instead of a symbiotic relationship with mutual respect, we know that practically the man with less manual work and all the power has indeed been dealt the higher hand. Now they can be mean and let the rest know who is the boss. But then they are smart in the fact that they know that workers with even a false reason of self-respect and sincerity are better than those that are forced  and so we have such a fancy show. They do that from time to time but at the same time they have this propoganda  teaching kids that no work is bad. Hell if it aint why the difference in position, power and money. I am not saying that they dont deserve it, just that giving the people a false sense of respect is somewhat cruel - practical but cruel.
