 <html>@&lt;span class=&quot;vcard&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://rainbowdash.net/user/4320&quot; class=&quot;url&quot; title=&quot;RDN's Lucifer&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;fn nickname mention&quot;&gt;nerthos&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; His idea is that here in the West we are brought at birth into a place with a puritanical work ethic which only seems to reward us after we are too old to enjoy it.  There is a fable about an ant and a grasshopper in which the ant works all day and survives but the grasshopper dies because he plays a fiddle instead of hoarding food.  Some have rewritten the story, giving the grasshopper a job at the end in a different insect's house to play dinner music for a wage of food, thus leaning the moral in favor of &amp;quot;following your cutie mark&amp;quot;.  The ant is following his vocation by working all day, but that's not the vocation of the cricket.</html>
