Watch the film on this site called the “The Butcher’s Wife” and you will understand why I struggled to have sympathy for this documentary. He suffers from a form of block or depression because work is boring. We live in a culture that has become intoxicated with ‘self.’ We’ve turned so far in on ourselves that we are afraid to feel sad, bored, upset, frustrated… so we go numb or succumb to ‘the wall.’ People need to have a hope and motivation outside of ‘self.’ Our purpose in life is to love God and love people not to please (love) ourselves. The guy with the wall needs a higher purpose, something outside of himself to live for and then he might find that he can face the boredom of his job.
Self-indulgent
