Work is the opening, clarifying and resolving of resentments. A person who has done their work we call good. Most of us give the impression of goodness by living a life within which our resentments remain suppressed beneath a veneer of comfort, respectability, busy-ness or sheer exhaustion. This is not good because as we get old and our energy wanes, they resurface with a vengeance, and make our final years hell.
