Employment: Bad. Something else: Good!
Did you know that to be “employed” or to be seeking “employment” is not really in your best interests?
If you break the word “employment” down into its three parts you get a definition that leads to another conclusion: First there is the prefix “em” (same as “en”) which means to “be within.” Then at the end of the word there is the suffix “ment,” which is to be “within the action” of the attached noun subject. And then you have at the core of the word combination, “ploy.”
Ploy by its own definition is:
n. An action calculated to frustrate an opponent or gain an advantage indirectly or deviously; a maneuver: “A typical ploy is to feign illness, procure medicine, then sell it on the black market” (Jill Smolowe). – Definition courtesy of The American Heritage® Dictionary.
So as far as this breakdown of the word employment is concerned, I am definitely not seeking to be frustrated by a calculated opponent in 2007 or as so many others who are seeking financial change utter – employment by an employer!
Now I know that there are a few nerd faces out there, who may argue that this is not what the origin of the word really means (go ahead be troll – who frakking cares!). But for all you metaphysicians and copy writers out there who understand that vibration intones realties and subsequent actions; employment, self or otherwise, will never give you a smooth ride. Perhaps that’s why it’s law that they give you financial compensation and a health plan for your aggravated time.
Here’s to being something… something… in 2007 that gives you tons of money and plenty of free time!
