Irrelevance And Immeasurement In The Novel's Three Signs Of A Miserable

In our society it is necessary to have a job, and unfortunately too many people do not enjoy their employment. As a result people become miserable doing the same thing everyday in order to just make ends meet or have enough money to buy the things they want. Our lives are not meant to be made miserable by the work we do, rather they are suppose to be enlightened and benefited by our employment.
