What kinds of jobs the others suit to

Harmony at the level of the society

From my blog https://composingmelodies.blogspot.com/

Reaching for Harmony

It is quite early evening on the day Eurovision Song Contest in Israel begins, it is in tv starting klo22 but I have not yet decided if I watch it. I have the feeling that this year it could bring bad luck.
But anyway I tried to compose a melody, even a song about harmony in the society but it turned out to be just a too short piece.
I was thinking of something along the lines of "Live and let others live" http://finnishskills.blogspot.com/2012/10/live-and-let-others-live.html

5th of July 2019   Another piece:

"

22th of November 2019   The latter melody might be very valuable, since it's perspective tells how different people suport each the society from their own perspective, like they agree about the arrangements and values being good choices, like they see life in the society working out well. So it appears to be a lasting effect: their own view, but on the other hand it may depand on what kinds of people they discuss with, dop they share the same culture and values. But anyweay, it could be a view that shows that as a being that lives in societies by one's nature, I want to support these valuable arrangements etc in the society for the future generations to come too, for my kids etc. So in a way it is harmony like a civiliced society when it works out in normal ways, without bigger problems, with each person in a job that one likes, values, respects,wouldchoose oneself.

"Always happily singing do your work!"

In Finland some old view of wisdom of life says that foreign influences are always low quality compared to Finnish ways,like in work foreigners tend to do work without much motivation, kind of forced labour, while in Finland the old view is that work should be done happily singing, so motivated, so much according to one's own rythms, not too long, not too low quality, with the skills of eager hands and eager mind, welcoming the challenges of life, with healthy spirit. There is some old song with words "Ain laulain työtäs tee!" = "Always singing do your work!" which has the idea in it's words, like what as the skill level of Finns in that but manybe the tune refers to more institution like way of working like Chinese worker outside Finland, maybe the Finns sought to teach that skill to foreigners too. When I think of my parents, both loved their work and my mom followed feelings when doing her work and my pa' tended to say "What if we would now do that? Would it be a good idea? I long for something uplifting to do." So we did something practical for a while, in a well running free ways, then stopped, my pap said "That was it. Thank you. Now we have been laborous. Now you can go freely and do your own things. I will make some food, we have earned it."

Come to think of it: what would it demand for work to be that happy and natural, singing kind? At least it demands that you like the work. If you can choose the profession you most like, or almost so, then that would be ok, or at least the work should feel nice, pleasant and even fun. It is likely that the work ought to be a challenge of some kind, letting you think freely and use your skills and common sense, which means that your skill level should be so high that you do not need to be superwised in doing your work and just the end result is checked for quality and whether it is good for practical use. The work should have instructions of what is the goal of the work, what needs to be done, but not, at least not more than very roughly, on ways of doing, rythm and the amount of one's own roads and side steps as far as it does not disturb the work. So the worker should have a good work motivation and there should be no tendency to sabotage the work or lives of others. So it is a civil society like situation, not a conflict of countries or different types of persons. Reaching for one's best goes well when one has as young dreamed of such a career and so one has all kinds of potential ready for such work. So I guess that rising to meet one's full pitential happens especially as young adult if one isn't commanded or superwised but is given meaningful things to do and emphasized responsibility and free ways of doing, individual insight but also practical matters like not investing too much time when something needs to be done in practice. Also sports of varying kind seem to give energy and a good feeeling to one's body, good for varied type of work.

But the original singing at work was mostly at farms short time labout like for an hour or so, that one happened to like. Then it was transformed to people starting to work in towns, but that was less natural since there was working hours and some guidelines of how the work should be done. But if one happened to lke that, for example cooking or sewing personally fitted clothes, then one maybe sang sometimes when one was in a good mood. But the original form was in a more free life countryside, with quite many persons possible for each task (and the traditional farm tasks were all or just about all typically liked by almost all, nice kind of things to do), so that one can choose according to one's likings.

The quality of work done was checked so that people knew if one was fitted to such labour. Those who were not inclined toward quality and the values of the work at hand, were not fitted to it even if the work done would have somehow passed to the practical purposes at hand. People have different inclinations, so they take care of different areas of life, cultivated the values which keep those areas of life in good order, well, with their spirit respected and creating so the groundwork for a good future in them were they are. All are not fitted to all works, some just act them through and that is not how life ought to be lived and things done, quality needs sincerety and respect for the things at hand.
