I realise and appreciate that my joy and happiness depends not on my work alone but also depends on the work of thousands of people in a well-functioning society surrounding me. For example: When I’m using the internet I appreciate that thousands of workers at the internet company are working to bring me internet. When I’m using water I appreciate that thousands of workers at the water company are working to bring me water. When I’m using electricity I appreciate that thousands of workers at the electricity company are working to bring me electricity. When I’m shopping at the supermarket I appreciate that thousands of workers at the supermarket-company are working to bring me groceries. When I need my garbage collected I appreciate that thousands of workers in the government are working to collect my garbage. I wonder what are all the social-processes working to support and facilitate my joy and happiness?
