61. Render the text into English using the vocabulary of the unit.
Работа сегодня требует новых жертв. Все меньше людей чувствует себя защищенными. Идти в ногу со всеми изменениями и требованиями времени утомительно и вредно для здоровья. Офисные работники удлиняют свой рабочий день, чтобы не потерять работу – и теряют взаимопонимание и связь с детьми. Новый культ грозит вытолкнуть тех, у кого нет постоянной оплачиваемой работы, дальше на задворки общества. Когда работа становится не просто пропуском к банкомату с деньгами, когда она открывает двери друзьям, дает цель в жизни, приносит удовлетворение и определяет место в мире, ее отсутствие ощущается особенно остро.

Но
мы осмеливаемся отрицать значимость
работы в нашей жизни. Мы жалуемся на
нее, сидя с коллегами где-нибудь после
работы. Один мой знакомый говорит: «Я
люблю свою работу, но стесняюсь
говорить об этом. Мои родители
беспокоятся, что единственные мои
друзья – это мои коллеги. Но это же
хорошо. Ведь у нас столько общего».
Про любовь к работе говорить сейчас
не принято. Представление о работе,
как о негативном явлении, отравляет
наше сознание довольно давно. Поэт и
мистик Калил Гибран сказал, что работа
это «любовь, которая сделалась
видимой». Хорошо бы и нам напитаться
этим настроением, пусть хотя бы и
ненадолго.
