THE JOB OF PERMANENT UNEMPLOYMENT


"Paresse et luxure ou le sommeil" - Gustave Courbet, 1866

"As for us, He has appointed the job of permanent unemployment.
If He wanted us to work, after all,
He would not have created this wine.
With a skinfull of this, Sir,
Would you rush out to commit economics?"
(Rumi in Diwan-e Shams)
