'Golden Skin'
A street performer dressed in gold with a sphynx mask. Well, he might more accurately be labelled as a non-performer, as he only stands tall and does nothing before he gets an incentive. After I've inserted a coin into his jar, he makes a fast head movement toward my camera and laughs a bit. What a job! :-)
Today is International Workers' Day and people all over the world celebrate it as Labours Day. Isn't work something that should come naturally to each one of us? I mean if one does what he/she really likes and makes a living doing it, is it working or enjoying the time? The idea kept me thinking. What we call 'working' is, actually, something else.
With all the advancements in technology we were promised more free time, what we got is more work, more stress and less time away from it. Why is it so? Probably because most of the people do not sincerely like their jobs and would rather do something else but due to the financial reasons are indirectly forced to work for their employers.
How would we call that not so long ago? Slavery, I guess. However, today it is done by indirect financial coercion, not with sticks and whips. The core remains the same, no matter how we label it.
Therefore, I respect this man dressed up in a golden sheet. He does what he likes and serves no master. Millions could follow his example and enjoy doing work they sincerely like if they only could understand and be able to apply the metaphorical message. It would likely lead to another change and there would finally be no more slavery.
It is up to us, really.
Enjoy your day! :-)
