Pleasant greetings to you all.
It is no crime to work so as to earn a living. In fact society does not condone laziness especially with an individual who is of working age. It is considered a taboo to sit idly or laze around all day instead of working and of course no work is fun if there is no incentive. Money paid at the end of the month is a huge motivation to get me up from my bed and drive out the spirit of Laziness in me, hehe.
But when I think it through, even though I love to work and earn my income, there are certain jobs that I would not want to take on for some personal reasons and that is what I will be sharing below..
That one job that is not for me is mortuary attendant. Yeah, I know what you are thinking but this is my personal choice. I could never work as a mortuary attendant no matter the amount of salary that would be paid. This is not to mock those who work these jobs or undermine them. It is simply my choice.
The reason for this choice is simple. I am a person who loves life and want to live the life with my close circle. When someone close to me complains of ill health, I go on a panic mode. I try to give in my input to help that loved one recover speedily. The way that I would behave would make you think if the sickness was transferred to me lol, but that's just my compassionate nature. Hence, I can't be found amongst the dead or anything that is related to death.
Even when my mom died, right there in my arms, I could not eat for days and I refused to look at rhe corpse during the lying in state rites. I get panic attacks when I see a dead body. If I should see a dead body in the morning, then all through that day I will not be myself because the image will just keep flashing in my mind's eye, sleeping at night might become difficult except I tire myself out woth activities.
So working in the morgue is a no no and last no for me. I sincerely respect those who work in such places and I have even heard that most of them use charms to be able to ward off the spirits of the dead persons while some have grown accustomed to seeing countless dead bodies that it just doesn't matter to them anymore.
Life is beautiful and I get that all living will eventually die someday as that is inevitable but still, the news of death hurts to the bottom of the heart and me being a softie, I will definitely feel the pain twice as much. Seeing people who once had plans and goals lying helplessly on that stretcher being wheeled into the morgue will surely mess with my consciousness and I would not want that. So no matter the amount offered, I would never take on this job.
Keep your money while I keep my sanity....simple. I would like to know what ,
and
thinks too.
