Because It is the most loving thing to do. One works in order to ' (a) not burden anyone else; ( b) provide for whomever in the family cannot work (for example, children); and (cj give back to society at least as much as one has received, e preferably more. A partner might etill be considered to be working, if he or she is taking care of children who need that sort of extra attention (not all families being alike in their needs ) andor creating the sort of home environment that refreshes the breadwinner in ways that money fust cant buy. Therefore, the ideal way to evaluate the contributions someone makes Is the degree to which the contributions show love for all concerned What does ambition have to do with that? Isnt ambition essentially selfish? To score more points than somebody else. In terms of money or prestige? Isnt that rather abstract, compared to how much one nurtures one's font ily or how much one makes the world a better place? . I Work for a Loving stay-at-hom- . .
